ALJ Recommends Denying Requests for Rehearing in Investigation on Ratepayer Protections and Cost Recovery Mechanisms for Large Load Customers
On May 7, 2026 an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued a Memorandum to the Commission denying JNGO request clarification of the Final Order regarding the relationship between FERC-jurisdictional wholesale transmission rates and Commission-jurisdictional retail cost allocation in the Commission’s discussion approving the Transmission Security Agreement (“TSA”) requirement. “The Commission should deny JNGO’s Motion. As Staff notes, the Final Order is sufficiently clear as issued. In addition, that is no consensus regarding the proposed clarifying language.”
In the same memo the ALJ also recommends denying rehearing the TSA-related arguments raised by Constellation in its Application. The Commission has thoroughly considered these arguments as they were fully briefed and further addressed in exceptions and oral arguments.
Previously on April 23, 2026, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) initiated this investigative proceeding on ratepayer protections and cost recovery mechanisms for servicing large load customers of Commonwealth Edison Company.
This docket was initiated by staff’s recommendation upon the conclusion of Dockets 2025-0679 and 2025-0677 and the ICC concluding that a future docketed proceeding was necessary to address affordability issues and cost recovery matters related to large load customers.
