Today, ComEd, together with its community partners, announced $2.5 million in new bill assistance that will soon be available to help eligible business customers cope with higher PJM supply costs during the summer. Backed by Exelon, ComEd’s parent company, this extension of last year’s Customer Relief Fund will offer a one-time, matching grant of up to $500 to eligible small- and medium-sized business customers located within ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory.

“Increasing PJM-related energy supply costs present challenges to customers in many parts of the country, including small businesses that are a critical part of the economy in the communities ComEd serves across northern Illinois,” saidGil C. Quiniones, President and CEO, ComEd. “The Customer Relief Fund is designed to deliver immediate billing relief to thousands of ComEd’s small-business customers, ensuring they’re able to continue providing jobs to local residents, while contributing to the cultural vibrancy of our region.”
