With ComEd’s EE Plan 7 and associated stipulation agreement now finalized/filed, ComEd wants to raise awareness around its upcoming sourcing event (RFP) for EE Plan 7. ComEd began preparing for this event earlier last year and originally planned to issue the RFP to potential bidders this month. However, recently proposed legislation (Senate Bill 2473) could have a significant impact on the transition from Plan 6 to Plan 7 if it becomes law this year – prompting ComEd to reconsider the timing of the RFP.
