Our Take
ComEd, the Exelon-owned utility that powers most of northern Illinois, keeps a local facility at 700 West Frech Street, and it’s a Chamber member as well. For residents, ComEd matters mostly in a few practical moments: starting or transferring service when you move, reporting an outage, or looking for rebates on efficient appliances and thermostats. All of that is handled online or through its mobile app, which shows outage maps and estimated restoration times during storms. Having crews based in Streator is a genuine advantage when summer thunderstorms or ice knock down lines, since restoration teams don’t have to drive in from far away. Businesses can also explore the utility’s energy efficiency programs, which often help pay for lighting and equipment upgrades. For emergencies such as downed wires, call the utility’s outage line immediately rather than visiting the facility.
