ComEd RECs Procurement Plan Slides 08-Nov-2007
A conference call to present the plan is scheduled for tomorrow Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 9 a.m. (Central Time).
Documents related to this plan can be found on the ICC Web site under ICC docket number 07-0528. The procurement plan is available here: Initial Procurement Plan. Supporting documents are available here: Supporting Documents.
ComEd’s filing is subject to review by the Commission. This review process will last no longer than sixty days. Other parties may file with the Commission within 14 days from ComEd’s filing of the plan a detailed objection to the plan, which objection the law requires to be "specific" and "supported by data or other detailed analyses."
ComEd invites you to participate in a conference call to be held next Thursday, November 8 at 9 a.m. (central time). Representatives from ComEd will present the portion of the procurement plan related to the procurement of RECs. Time is scheduled for questions and discussion.
Under subsection 16-111.5(j)(i) of the Public Utilities Act (added recently by Public Act 95-0481), there is a 14-day period after filing of the Plan during which "any person may file a detailed objection with the Commission contesting the procurement plan …." The statute further provides that ComEd "… may file a response to any objections to its procurement plan within 7 days after the date objections are due to be filed." This provision of the statute does not establish the process by which parties may comment on tariffs.
At the same time, subsection 16-111.5(j)(ii) requires that the Commission’s final order approving or modifying the Plan – which shall be issued within 60 days of the Plan’s filing – must also "approve or modify the electric utility's tariffs that are proposed with the initial procurement plan." Therefore, ComEd believes that the Commission has discretion, subject to other applicable provisions of the Act, as to the nature and schedule of proceedings with respect to the tariffs, provided that whatever procedure or schedule is employed allows the Commission to finally "approve or modify" the tariffs within 60 days, along with the Plan.
Legal questions concerning ComEd’s tariff filing should be directed to ComEd’s counsel of record, Eugene H. Bernstein (312-394-7162 / eugene.bernstein@exeloncorp.com) or E. Glenn Rippie (312-832-4910 / grippie@foley.com). Legal questions concerning Illinois Commerce Commission procedure should be directed to your legal counsel or to the Commission.

ComEd’s filing will be subject to review by the Commission. This review process will last no longer than sixty days. Other parties may file with the Commission within 14 days a detailed objection to the plan, which objection the law requires to be "specific" and "supported by data or other detailed analyses."
A conference call to present the plan is scheduled for tomorrow, October 31, 2007 at 9 a.m. (Central).
