ComEd’s $15.3 billion grid plan could raise Chicago-area bills — what’s in the filing

ComEd’s $15.3 billion grid plan could raise Chicago-area bills — what’s in the filing

Commonwealth Edison has submitted a $15.3 billion grid upgrade plan to the Illinois Commerce Commission, covering 2028 through 2031, aiming to handle rising electricity demand. The utility said if the proposal gets the green light, average residential bills could rise by about $2.50 to $3.00 per month starting in 2028. ComEd also pointed out that demand growth is already stressing over 70 substations across its network, which serves roughly 4 million customers in northern Illinois. The proposal comes as the region targets big power users such as data centers, while electric vehicle adoption climbs and buildings grow more dependent on electricity. Utility planners are bracing for a significant jump in demand. Regulators must now decide how far to go in preparing for the surge.

Traders are pricing in a Federal Reserve pause next week, with two rate cuts still expected in 2026.

  • SPCX Slips After Nasdaq-100 Entry; Cathie Wood's ARK Adds, Starlink Prices Jump
    July 8, 2026, 4:24 AM EDT. Shares of SPCX lost 7% to end at $149.47 Tuesday, holding above the $135 IPO level but sliding below the June 12 debut price and standing 25% under the June 16 high. The stock didn't see the rally some expected from its Nasdaq-100 inclusion, even with $800 billion tracking the index, likely as earlier gains were already priced in. ARK Innovation ETF, run by Cathie Wood, lifted its SpaceX stake by $6.6 million, sticking with its bet. Analysts on Wall Street still lean bullish-average target near $236, looking at a possible 58% gain. SpaceX's Starlink division also hiked some aviation internet plan prices, potentially pushing revenue higher.
