Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowBig energy discounts coming for ChicagoansStarting in 2026, thousands of Chicago-area families could see real relief on their electric bills. ComEd’s new Low-Income Discount program aims to keep energy costs below 6% of household income for those who qualify—meaning more money stays in your pocket each month. Households earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level can get help, with the deepest discounts for those most in need. Some folks are debating whether all customers should help fund this, or if ComEd’s shareholders should step up. What do you think—should big utilities or the community cover the cost of helping neighbors? #Business #Chicago #ComEd00Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowBig energy discounts coming for Chicago familiesStarting in 2026, thousands of Chicago-area families struggling with high electric bills could see real relief. ComEd’s new Low-Income Discount program will cap energy costs at 3% of household income (or 6% for homes with electric heat) for those earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level. The catch? The discount is funded by a fee on all customers, sparking debate about who should pay—ratepayers or ComEd’s shareholders. If you or someone you know might qualify, keep an eye out for enrollment info. How do you feel about everyone chipping in to help neighbors keep the lights on? #Business #Chicago #ComEd00Share
