ComEd Offers Options to Help Customers Manage Electric Bills

Flexible payment arrangements help address past-due balances; energy-efficiency offerings

help manage future bills

CHICAGO (May 11, 2021) – As many northern Illinois residents experience mounting

expenses as a result of the pandemic, ComEd offers payment assistance programs that may help

with past-due balances now and energy-saving tools that can lower bills in the future.

“To support our customers and communities working to rebuild from Covid-19, ComEd is

offering more options for customers to help them maintain their service and save money on their

electric bills,” said Jane S. Park, ComEd’s chief customer officer and senior vice president of

customer operations. “We are offering hardship grants to eligible customers through our CARE

program, assistance grants to small businesses that need support, $0-dollar down extended

payment plans, and easy-to-use online tools and award-winning energy efficiency programs

designed to help customers manage their energy and save money.”

Through June 30, 2021, ComEd offers extended payment arrangements to eligible residential

customers facing financial hardship. These extended payment arrangements allow eligible

customers to spread outstanding balances over 18 monthly installments with no money down

through June 30, 2021. All other eligible residential customers with outstanding balances can

enroll in an 18-month payment plan with a 10-percent down payment through June 30, 2021.

These payment plans expand ComEd’s existing payment-assistance options, such as the ComEd

CARE programs available for residential customers, small-business customers, nonprofit

organizations, as well as activated and deployed members of the U.S. Armed Forces, National

Guard, Reserves and honorably discharged veterans. These programs offer one-time grants,

while funding is available, to help eligible customers pay their electric bills.

energy-saving tools through our Energy Efficiency Program,” said Erica Borggren, vice

president of customer solutions, ComEd. “These tools are designed to help customers take

control of their energy use and save money year-round.”
