For Immediate Release MADIGAN STATEMENT ON ICC ACTION The Illinois Commerce Commission’s (ICC) action today will mean huge, unfair and unnecessary rate increases for ComEd and Ameren customers who will end up paying an extra $1 billion per year for the same electric service that they have today. This Order ignores mandatory consumer protection provisions under Illinois law and adopts a method of pricing electricity that is clearly contrary to the Public Utilities Act. Attorney General Madigan is committed to fighting this Order in the appellate courts.-30- |
