Commonwealth Edison Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
Commonwealth Edison Co serves 3,727,675 residential customers in Illinois as an investor-owned utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 24 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 15.22¢ per kilowatthour, 4.1% below the Illinois average of 15.87¢ and 7.6% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $88.72 a month on average use of 583 kWh a month. Across Illinois the average bill was $109.99 on 693 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
The price covers the 2,922,223 residential customers on bundled service. A further 805,452 take delivery only and buy their energy from another supplier; EIA collects just part of their bill from this respondent, so they are left out of the average.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 131.9 minutes per customer with major event days included and 35.6 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Illinois utilities reporting was 131.9 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is about the same as that median.
The average price is up 14.4% on 2019, against up 21.8% for Illinois as a whole, and up 3.0% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 17.71¢.

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 32.7 TWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 32.7 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 21,560 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 0.68 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.49 without; CAIDI 194.0 minutes per interruption. EIA's Illinois total across all reporting utilities was 156.9 minutes with major event days and 59.4 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
