$2.6 billion of private capital set to go to work for ComEd customers
Tuesday, Nov 22, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act, passed into law last month, is a ten-year, $2.6 billion investment program that will bring much-needed upgrades to our electric grid and much-needed jobs to our state. Half of the investment to be spent on utility infrastructure improvement. Much of this work will involve refurbishing and replacing system cable, some of which is more than 40 years old. At its peak, this work will create 2,000 jobs. The law directs the other half of the investment to be spent building a smarter grid. Digital meters will be deployed to every customer bringing them new tools and pricing options to save money. Also, new smart substations and other digital technology will help ComEd improve reliability for customers. When fully implemented, our modern grid will mean 700,000 avoided outages, saving customers $100 million in outage-related costs, and the law holds utilities accountable to met these goals. This work will begin in January and continue over the next 10 years. For more information on the many benefits of the new law, please visit www.ComEd.com.

Tenaska’s Turkey Is Nothing To Be Thankful For
Tuesday, Nov 22, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] It’s no surprise that the Illinois legislature has voted against Tenaska’s Taylorville Energy Center three times, rejecting a project that would leave Illinois families, businesses and government agencies paying up to SEVEN TIMES today’s market price for electricity. Three strikes in a row for the Taylorville Energy Center? This thing really is Tenaska’s Turkey. And with a price tag of $286 million per year for Illinois consumers, it’s nothing to be thankful for. But Tenaska and its supporters are still trying to force this costly and unnecessary project on Illinois – in fact, it may be considered next week when the General Assembly reconvenes. That’s why it’s important to take a moment to let your legislator know that it’s time to say “no more” to Tenaska’s Turkey, the Taylorville Energy Center. Visit www.STOPCoalition.com to learn more.
