As a community, working together to move beyond the impact of COVID-19 is important. ComEd understands that some valued customers may need help paying their electric bills. That’s why they are offering additional assistance opportunities for eligible customers, as part of our ongoing effort to ensure safe, reliable and affordable energy.
Extended payment arrangements and protection from disconnection.
Eligible customers may be able to spread out balances over 18 months, with 0% down, and be exempt from disconnection through June 30, 2021. All other residential customers with balances are eligible for an 18-month, 10% down payment plan.
A one-time financial hardship grant.
ComEd’s CARE program offers grants to eligible customers in need, including veterans and active military, while funds are available.
