It’s all a shell game! Vote NO on SB9
Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] ComEd is at it again! Senate bill 9 is not about infrastructure; it’s not about modernization; and has very little to do with actual energy. It’s about money. Your money. The money ComEd was supposed to give back to you. ComEd is back in Springfield, pushing legislation – Senate Bill 9 – even though the bill doesn’t even have language attached to it. It’s a shell game – and if you blink you’ll lose track of it. ComEd wants SB9 to kill the money they owe you in rate cuts. They complain about the Illinois Commerce Commission’s order to delay the so-called “grid modernization program”. They do not tell you that the ICC is merely following the law…the very same law ComEd pushed through the General Assembly in 2011. ComEd is worried about their bottomline – their parent company, Exelon, is cutting their own annual dividend 40%. Call now toll-free 800-719-3020

Vote YES on SB 9
Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (EIMA), also known as the Smart Grid law, directed ComEd to invest $2.6 billion over 10 years to modernize the power system in Northern Illinois. ComEd began work immediately and invested $165 million in this program, creating over 700 jobs in 2012. However, the smart meter installation has been delayed and the grid modernization program has been jeopardized due to an Illinois Commerce Commission ruling that impacts ComEd’s ability to fund the work. SB 9 is designed to resolve these issues to get the smart grid program and the resulting benefits – shorter and fewer outages, giving customers greater control over energy usage and costs, and creating 2,000 jobs – back on track. The legislation would clarify the existing Smart Grid law to be consistent with the original legislative intent and with HR 1157 and SR 821. The bill supports the advancement of a modern, reliable electric grid, which is critical to our region attracting new businesses and keeping Illinois competitive. Members of the General Assembly: Vote YES on SB 9.
