ComEd to Seek Increase

AP via CBS2Chicago.com:

Electric provider ComEd plans to ask state regulators to approve a delivery rate increase in 2007, despite a plan that already will hike electricity bills for Illinois customers by an average 22 percent starting in January.

Officials at ComEd and its parent company, Chicago-based Exelon Corp., said they will ask the Illinois Commerce Commission to approve a delivery rate increase sometime during the second quarter of 2007.
