We are pleased to announce an exciting and important milestone for ComEd’s transformation of the electrical system serving northern Illinois. We have submitted our plan to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) for the installation of smart meters across our service territory. Here are the highlights:

• ComEd will install approximately 130,000 smart meters in 2012 in the following communities: Berkeley, Brookfield, Cicero, Elmwood Park, Forest View, Franklin Park, Harwood Heights, La Grange Park, Lyons, Norridge, North Riverside, Northlake, River Grove, Riverside, Rosemont, Schiller Park, Stickney, Stone Park and Westchester. Installation will continue in areas served by the Maywood operating center, where most of the meters were installed for ComEd’s AMI Pilot Program.

• Beginning next year, we plan to install approximately 400,000 smart meters annually through completion of the program in 2021.

• Our plan was developed in consultation with Governor Quinn’s Smart Grid Advisory Council and we’ve met with numerous community groups and stakeholders to discuss the plan.

We are proud of the collaboration and coordination that went into this plan and we are excited about the benefits smart meters will bring, including fewer and shorter outages, an improved customer experience, more opportunities for customers to control their energy consumption and save money.
