Illinois’ Future Requires a Modern Grid

Posted in:

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

The electric grid underpins our entire economy and data-driven way of life. Designed a century ago, the Illinois grid has served us well. But it’s an analog system struggling to serve a digital age. The grid works well for the purposes of yesterday; but is simply incapable of meeting the demands of tomorrow.

The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (HB 14-1) will build the electric grid that the 21st century demands. ComEd’s $2.6 billion investment will mean:

But to modernize, regulatory reform is needed. Today’s regulatory framework forces short-term thinking when a long-term view is needed. We need ratemaking that protects consumers, encourages investment and holds utilities accountable.

The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act is a program whose time is now. Digitizing the grid is an economic imperative to help restore Illinois’ competitiveness.
