ComEd today announced that the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) has approved its proposed plan to construct a new transmission line in DeKalb County to reinforce grid reliability and resilience, meet rising energy demand from businesses and residents in the region and support economic growth. The ICC issued ComEd a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN), which authorizes a public utility to construct certain major infrastructure projects following a public review process that evaluates whether the project is needed, appropriately designed, and in the public interest.
