ComEd, in collaboration with community partners, has launched a $2.5 million bill assistance program for eligible business customers in northern Illinois.

Applications will be accepted online only beginning Monday, June 15, via ComEd.com/SMBRelief. To qualify, businesses must have energy usage under 500 kilowatts, an active commercial meter, and a past-due balance without tampering fees or bankruptcy issues. Home-based businesses are ineligible.

The program aims to provide immediate billing relief, helping businesses retain jobs and contribute to regional vibrancy. ComEd also offers energy-efficiency programs and connects residential customers to various bill-support and energy-saving resources.
