One Last Letter from ComEd About Rockford Electric Aggregation

ROCKFORD - Many people in Rockford received a letter from ComEd this week.  The letter is another electric aggregation letter, but ComEd says this should be the last letter residents receive.  The letter simply states that you have been opted into the electric aggregation program and the switch will happen within a couple of days after September 13. 

Rockford's new energy supplier is First Energy Solutions.  Commonwealth Edison says you will still receive bills from ComEd, but hopefully the bill will be cheaper.

"We continue to be the company that takes care of all of the wires, the transformers, the physical aspects of delivering the electricity," said Paul Callighan, spokesperson for ComEd.

"The only thing that will change is the name of the energy provider on your bill, which will reflect the appropriate provider from the town that's done the aggregation."

Callighan says the new rates probably won't be reflected in your next month's bill, but rather will take effect during the next billing period. 

If you want to opt out of the city's electrical aggregation program and you received this letter, you still have time to opt out.  You need to call the new supplier, First Energy Solutions, at (800) 977-0500.
