If you’ve been feeling the pinch of rising prices lately, here’s some welcome news: most ComEd customers are receiving automatic bill credits.
Thanks to the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), Illinois’s landmark clean energy law, $803 million in bill credits are flowing to ComEd customers through May 2026. That works out to an average of $13 per month for most households – money that stays in your pocket without you having to lift a finger. You can learn more from our friends at the Citizens Utility Board.
What Is This Credit, and Where Do I Find It?
If you’re a ComEd customer, take a look at your bill. You’ll see a line item called the “Carbon Free Energy Resource Adjustment.” That’s your CEJA credit at work. No sign-up required, no forms to fill out, no hoops to jump through. If you’re a ComEd customer, you’re likely already benefiting.
Why This Matters Now
At a time when energy costs are rising across the country, this credit is a concrete example of how smart clean energy policy can protect ratepayers. When Illinois passed CEJA, it set the state on a path toward 100% clean energy. But the law was also designed with affordability in mind. These bill credits demonstrate that investing in clean energy and protecting consumers go hand in hand.
So the next time you review your ComEd bill, look for the Carbon Free Energy Resource Adjustment. It’s a small reminder that Illinois’s clean energy leadership is making a real difference, one monthly credit at a time.
