Say No To Anti-Competitive Transmission Legislation

Posted in:

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Voters and the Governor already rejected lawmakers’ push for anti-competitive “Right of First Refusal” (ROFR) legislation that hands transmission contracts to incumbent utilities.
Now, the same principles that would raise costs on ratepayers are back. They are trying to rebrand ROFR and pretend it’s about protecting Illinois.

Gatekeeping legislation with the principles of ROFR limits competition and raises the barrier for other qualified transmission operators – all which increases the power of ComEd and Ameren while passing on higher rates to consumers.

The new approach won’t fool voters. Let’s remember:

The message is clear: voters want more competition, not less.

Voters’ concerns about higher energy prices are rising fast. Since this poll, they’ve endured a sizzling summer with skyrocketing prices, and a new report says the cost of heating a home this winter is expected to jump nearly 8%.

Illinois families are feeling the squeeze of energy bills. Competition is the key to relief

Voters have made their voice clear: Say no to energy inflation. Don’t hand more power and control to ComEd and Ameren. Say no to ending cost-cutting competition.
