Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On October 17, 2007, Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) filed a request with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) seeking approval to increase its delivery service rates to reflect ComEd’s continued substantial investment in delivery service assets since rates were last determined. If approved by the ICC, the total proposed increase of $361.3 million (or approximately $358.9 million adjusted for normal weather) in the annual revenue requirement, which was based on a 2006 test year, would increase an average ComEd residential customer bill about 7.7%. The ICC proceedings relating to the proposed delivery service rates will take place over a period of up to 11 months. ComEd cannot predict how much of a delivery service rate increase the ICC may approve, if any, when any rate increase may go into effect, or whether any rate increase that may eventually be approved will be sufficient for ComEd to adequately recover its costs when the increase goes into effect. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is ComEd’s press release regarding its filing with the ICC.
