What it would mean nearby
This case does not change what a household pays today, but it is the main tool Illinois regulators are using to try to stop the cost of new grid equipment for data centers from landing on residential bills. ComEd annual reconciliation rate case (docket 25-0383) adds about $3.10 a month to a typical bill from January 2026. PJM capacity auction price spike hits ComEd supply charges adds about $10.50 a month to a typical bill from June 2025.
