ComEd Introduces Time-of-Day Delivery Rate for Off-Peak Savings
ComEd launched a new delivery time-of-day rate in February 2026, offering residential and small business customers lower delivery charges during off-peak hours to encourage load shifting. Enrollment is open now for eligible delivery rate classes across ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory.
1. Rate Structure and Implementation
The new rate reclassifies delivery charges into peak and off-peak periods, with reduced kilowatt-hour delivery fees during lower-demand hours and standard charges during system peaks. The structure is designed to encourage customers to shift discretionary energy use away from higher-cost periods, aiding grid reliability and cost management.
2. Enrollment Process and Impact
Eligible residential and small business customers in ComEd’s northern Illinois territory can enroll online starting in February 2026. The program aims to deliver bill savings for participants while helping ComEd mitigate peak load pressures and defer infrastructure investments.
