ComEd supports Green Energy and Competition…until they don’t.

Sounds political right; I am for it until I am against it.

A transmission line that would carry wind energy from the Midwest into Illinois, 3,500 megawatts or enough power for 1,600,000 homes, was rejected by the Appeals Court of Illinois after ComEd sided against the transmission line.

At stake is ComEd’s monopoly on transmission in their service territory.

ComEd used its standing in Illinois to appeal a decision by the Illinois Commerce Commission though the court. The appeal court’s ruling is confusing and should be reversed by the State Supreme Court. However, it exposed ComEd empty rhetoric of supporting customer choice and green energy….that is until it would be built in their backyard.
