ComEd mulls power rate hike to offset loss of suburban customers
The heralded arrival of competition in the residential electricity market is leading to an unwanted consequence: higher rates for those still with Commonwealth Edison Co.
The electric utility confirms that it's considering a shift in how it charges customers for the cost of buying power that could lead to a significant increase in rates—at least in the short term.
Putting a precise number on the ratepayer hit isn't yet possible. ComEd had been planning to more than double the “purchased electricity adjustment” charge on its bills in March, a move that would have resulted in a 4 percent increase in overall electric rates for the month. After questions arose last week, it called the plan off. But the company said it will revisit the issue soon.
ComEd is trying to solve a problem caused by the expected mass exodus of customers to competing suppliers later this year, as 200 suburban communities move to buy power on their residents' behalf at prices cheaper than ComEd's. That could create a situation in which the Exelon Corp. subsidiary will have contracted to purchase more electricity than it needs to serve its shrinking customer base. The adjustment charge would let it collect enough from remaining customers to cover its costs.
The challenge is expected to intensify now that residential competition is here, 13 years after Illinois deregulated its electricity market. Under the state's power market structure, households and small businesses can move between non-utility suppliers and ComEd as their supply contracts expire. That makes it hard for the Illinois Power Agency, which negotiates to buy power consumed by utility customers statewide, to predict how much juice to purchase.
“While we've always had moving market prices, we now have moving volumes,” says Mark Pruitt, former director of the agency. Mr. Pruitt is a consultant to suburbs planning to buy power on behalf of their households. “We still need protection for the people who don't want to (shop).”
He adds: “The issue today is people leaving the (utility) portfolio. The issue tomorrow may be people coming back to the portfolio.”
Either way, the adjustment charge will rise as power purchases prove too generous or too skimpy.
For its part, the utility says it will try to improve its power-demand forecasts to avert major rate fluctuations.
“With respect to volatility in the future, ComEd strives to forecast its (demand) as accurately as possible, including the effect of (customer) switching,” the company says in an email. “To the extent we can reasonably estimate these changes, the PEA volatility should not be significantly impacted by switching.”
' We still need protection for the people who don't want to' shop for electricity.
But as long as wholesale power prices are lower than the utility's, which reflect higher-priced long-term contracts entered into years before, higher rates created by evaporating demand could become self-reinforcing. As more customers leave, those left have to shoulder the costs of the unneeded power, prompting even more to exit and raising rates further.
— Mark Pruitt, former IPA director
Customers of ComEd competitors don't pay the adjustment charge, giving those alternative suppliers an edge.
ComEd says a key justification for hiking the charge soon is to ensure that departing customers pay for at least some of the power the utility has purchased on their behalf.
In recent years, ComEd has kept the PEA charge relatively level, near 0.5 cent per kilowatt-hour, and absorbed the monthly fluctuations in the small imbalances between power bought and power sold. Now, it's considering passing the monthly costs (or credits) to customers.
Before tabling its rate hike, ComEd told the Illinois Commerce Commission that it planned to raise the PEA charge to more than 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, a 4 percent increase in the household rate, to almost 13 cents per kilowatt-hour.
ComEd later told the ICC that it might spread out or phase in the cost of the near-term fluctuations to reduce rate shock. But there have been no final decisions.
While the ICC regulates utilities, it says it has no authority over the purchased electricity adjustment charge; ComEd can make changes unilaterally.
Seven percent of ComEd's household customers already had left for competitors as of December, according to the ICC. Mr. Pruitt estimates that as much as 30 percent could depart later this year. Individuals, of course, are free to switch to competing suppliers on their own, but municipalities buying in bulk have reaped bigger savings than people shopping on their own.

Independence Energy– Provides Green Energy Options for Consumers and Businesses
Company’s Marketing Arm, Independence Energy Alliance, Offers Individuals Opportunity to Participate in Network Marketing Program to Promote Green Energy
Independence Energy, an independent energy provider for consumers and businesses, today launched its "green energy" service, which allows customers to select either 20% green sourced or 100% green sourced energy. The Company also introduced a unique Network Marketing Program through its marketing arm, Independence Energy Alliance, which allows individual entrepreneurs to join the "green revolution" and further market the service. Together, Independence Energy and Independence Energy Alliance empower people to "Make Choices that Change Lives" through positive energy options and the opportunity for financial rewards.
Based in Philadelphia, PA, Independence Energy offers consumers the power to choose affordable, renewable energy options to fit their financial and environmental needs. Independence Energy offers customers their choice of Green Plus (20% green sourced energy) or True Green (100% green sourced energy), with every customer earning 5% cash back on annual energy usage. The Company currently serves customers in New Jersey, with plans to expand to other states in the U.S. by the end of the year.
"We carefully created products that make a difference for our customers and that our Independence Energy Alliance Associates can proudly stand behind," said Chet Seely, co-founder and Managing Director of Independence Energy. "We’re thrilled to enter the marketplace and are confident that consumers and "green" entrepreneurs alike will benefit from our offering."
Through Independence Energy’s marketing arm, Independence Energy Alliance, "green" entrepreneurs nationwide have the opportunity to join the fast-growing, $120 billion dollar network marketing industry – just by helping other consumers choose their energy provider. The Company’s Independent Sales Associates are part of the Independence Energy Alliance, which provides all of the guidance and the tools needed to start-up and run their individual business.
"In our target markets, less than 9 percent of households have switched to an independent energy provider, creating an ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to make a positive impact on the environment, while achieving personal success," said Jeffrey Meiler, co-founder and President of Independence Energy. "With plans to expand our energy services to additional deregulated energy states on an ongoing basis, and a dedicated team that is committed to driving positive change in the world, Independence Energy is poised for growth that will make a lasting impact."
Independence Energy was co-founded by Jeffrey Meiler and Chet Seely.

Energy deregulation will save you MONEY!DeregulationSome things change…
Energy deregulation began in the late 1990s, giving consumers the power to choose their energy supplier. Deregulation creates competition and, in turn, better products for you to choose from, and to tailor to your personal needs. You can choose your supplier based on environmental impact, affordability, cash back, support in lowering your energy usage, or, in the case of Independence Energy, all of the above!
Energy deregulation not only results in better products for consumers, it also creates an opportunity for a new income stream for you if you choose to help others switch their electric service.
… and some stay the same
Even though energy supply has been deregulated, your electricity is still delivered by your same utility, using the same lines with the same service, and is as safe and reliable as it has always been. Nothing changes for you except the name of your electricity supplier on your energy bill.
Exercise your power to choose
With Independence Energy, you can choose our Green Plus product with 20% renewable energy (exceeding state minimum renewable requirements), or you can go completely green with our True Green 100% product. Choosing to go completely green has the same eco impact as 5 acres of slash pine trees!
Each of our products also gives you 5% cash back* on your electric usage every year. Sweet, right?
Finally, Independence Energy provides you access to energy saving products to help you reduce your energy usage and, in turn, your energy bill. When was the last time someone tried to help you spend less on something that you have to buy?!?
Make an empowering choice
What's this about a new income stream for you if you help others switch their electric service? Well, many of your friends and family may not be aware of their power to choose, or they may not have found the right product for their needs. By becoming an Independence Energy Alliance Associate and helping them switch their electricity to Independence Energy, you get paid every time they pay their bill. If you help others to make the same empowering choice to help friends and family make the switch, your income grows from their efforts. Sounds good, doesn't it?
|
Satisfaction Guarantee
We want our customers to feel secure in their choice of Independence Energy, and for you to feel good about offering our products to your friends and family. We guarantee customers will have no loss of electric service when they switch to Independence Energy. We are so confident in this commitment that we will pay their first month's electric bill if they experience an electricity service interruption.

What does everyone need?
Electricity!!
In fact, name one person who doesn't need and use electricity everyday!
Everybody turns on the lights!
Deregulation of Energy, according to Warren Buffet, will create the largest transfer of wealth in this world today! Deregulation of Energy has been a slow process, state by state, inching its way along. There have been fees for signing up, fees for cancelling early, and fees for cancelling all together. Plus... the utility companies have not let anyone know that you had a choice to choose where you wanted to buy your energy. Let's face it, it is not something anyone has on their Wish List, and let's face it - people resist change. Even if it is better for them, and they will be taking a small step towards cleaning up the environment. But I am convinced it will happen.
The science has been improving, and there are more and more companies forming, offering the consumer better, cleaner forms of energy at a much less and more competitive price. With new and better ways to market their greener products.
Energy Deregulation allows competition between companies that supply the energy to our homes. The 'supply' companies now can compete for your business by selling you the same energy at much lower rates. The consumer now has the choice to pay less for the natural gas and electricity that we use everyday. No matter what company is supplying the energy, it is delivered in exactly the same way it is delivered to you today.
You now have the ability to choose to lower your monthly energy rates without any change to your local service.
And this allows the 'supply' companies to offer you fantastic deals,such as a 5% / 10% Cash Back on your Energy Costs! If you own a small business, you could now choose to receive 5% / 10% Cash Back on your Annual Energy Costs.
If you are shopping for a new cell phone, and the phones were identical in everyway except for the price, would you pick the more expensive phone? Of course not! We must now learn to shop for our energy in the same way.
Independence Energy is positioned to become THE global powerhouse in the network marketing industry. Only Independence offers the unbeatable combination of the highest Associate compensation, staggering sales promotions, award-winning customer service, affordable energy pricing for customers and unmatchable customer cash back benefits.
No other company in network marketing will be able to compete with Independence Energy because no other energy MLM company is backed byNRG, a NINE BILLION dollar company! NRG is the 5th biggest energy company on the Fortune 500. Except for NRG, NONE of the top five electricity companies in North America has an MLM arm!
The Momentum Phase of Independence Energy has just begun but this move will mean that this phase will last for years to come! That’s why right now is the best time to be in the game because momentum creates leverage and leverage makes all of us Super Human.
Independence Energy is currently only available in New Jersey, New York & Illinois, but take a look at the fantastic savings! Fantastic - right!! Now add on the 5% / 10% Cash Back! Well, this opportunity is coming to Connecticut and Pennsylvania next ,Texas in late March,and we will just keep adding more until we are available in every state that is deregulated in electricity.
But even if you choose not to become an Associate for Independence Energy, you must admit the savings are incredible. Right now - only New Jersey and Illinois residents can take advantage of this incedible opportunity, but we will be adding new states every month.
