Another incredible summer with our interns is in the books! Over the past 10 weeks, more than 100 interns contributed across 76 departments, bringing fresh ideas and energy to teams throughout ComEd. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We're excited to see what you'll accomplish next!
Hello, thanks for reaching out to our social media team. Referencing your screenshot, the outage is for planned tree trimming to ensure reliability in your neighborhood. This is typically done on days with clear weather for safety. We appreciate your patience as this work takes place.
As energy demand rises, we're strengthening the grid to connect more community solar across Illinois, boosting access to clean energy and customer savings. ☀️ This new community solar installation in Justice is part of a larger effort that is expected to bring nearly 400 community solar sites online across our region by the end of 2026. See how we’re working with partners like Solar Landscape and Public Storage to power more communities. https://t.co/QKUgZGN4GH
Hi Sara, thank you for your patience. The first week of the month often brings higher call volumes, which can result in longer hold times. For requests to start, stop, or move your electric service, you can also manage your service online at https://t.co/lfo86rrJje. We appreciate your understanding.
After a storm, we jump into action! 👷 Our vegetation management team trims any branches or downed trees that are impacting our equipment and works closely with our restoration crews to quickly and safely restore power to our customers. Learn more about our process below.
This last storm was tough. So was the work required to rebuild. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and thank you to the crews and support teams who worked tirelessly to help communities get back on their feet. As storms grow stronger, so do we. ⚡
What an electrifying day at Saturday's #ComEdEVRally Race Day!🏎️🏁
Sixty local students and ComEd mentors came together to learn about STEM while working to build and race electric go-karts. Congrats to the girls' Green Galaxy team and boys' Teal Turbo team for taking the win!
@MykeAtTheMic Hello Myke, thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be happy to look into this for you. Please provide us with the name on your account, account number, email address and contact number via DM. We'll connect you with our GPC solar team.
@MichelleSaab2 Thank you for writing our social media team. We apologize for extended wait times as our care center reps work to give a personalized experience to each customer calling in. Please remain on the line so your start/stop request can be modified.
We’re proud to partner with @MayorsCaucus to announce the recipients of the 2026 Powering Safe Communities Grant Program!
This year, $170,000 was awarded to 24 local communities to support public safety and clean energy initiatives. 🏘️
See if your community is one of this year’s recipients and learn how these funds are making an impact: https://t.co/epJfU9ad9k
The July 27 storms brought devastating damage across our service area, including neighborhoods hit by seven confirmed tornadoes. Right now, a workforce of more than 3,400 people — including crews from utilities across the country — is continuing to work around the clock to restore power safely and as quickly as possible.
ComEd’s Director of Regional Electrical Operations, Eze, shares more about our Mobile Command Center units that are stationed in and near the hardest-hit communities, like Homewood, helping us coordinate crews and resources right where they're needed most.
Congratulations to the 60 talented students who spent the last two weeks building electric go-karts for today’s @ComEd EV Rally — and who put the pedal to the metal at Race Day!
And thank you to the ComEd mentors and staff who volunteered their time and expertise to guide these young innovators every step of the way.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of this program, and it's a proud reminder of why ComEd invests in #STEM: because these students are the clean energy workforce of tomorrow.
⚠️ In order to expedite an emergent repair to the system and restore customers, ComEd is working with IDOT and local police agencies to shut down RT 83 in the vicinity of Bluff Road to RT 171 from 1:00 PM - 2:00PM. ComEd crews will work as safely and quickly as possible to complete the repair and minimize disruptions.
We understand your frustration during this prolonged outage. Restoration efforts may take longer in the hardest-hit communities including your neighborhood. We have over 3400 crew members working to safely restore power. We haven't forgotten about you and look forward to restoring your service soon.
We have restored power to more than 99% of the 530,000 customers affected by severe weather and multiple tornadoes that swept through our service territory. Our crews mobilized roughly 3,400 workers, who have been working day and night since Monday afternoon to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
We’re grateful to the field crews and support teams who worked around the clock this week to repair damage and restore service, and we thank our customers for their continued patience.
We’re also providing additional support and resources to communities that remain affected by the storm.
Scattered rain showers are developing across our service territory, and we are closely monitoring weather conditions to assess any potential impacts to ongoing restoration efforts. The work is not done, and we will not stop until all customers are restored.

@pig_bri70260 Hello Brian, thanks for follow up with us. We're sorry to hear about this. Unfortuantely, this will need to be investigated. Once they complete the claims form, a representative from our claims team will be assigned and reach out to them.
Thank you for reaching out. Nested Outages are the result of additional damage that remains somewhere else along an electric circuit or line after a larger issue has been resolved. This can cause an outage to be reported as restored, when in fact, an outage remains. A nested outage can include equipment failure right at the home such as a blown fuse or a tree hanging on the home’s power line.
We may not be aware of all nested outages, so it is important that the customers report all outages. In this situation, repair work may need to be completed at more than one location. Please report the new outage at https://t.co/Mur6TaMpAr.
More than half a million customers lost power across northern Illinois after Monday's severe storms and confirmed tornadoes. We've restored power to more than 85% of affected customers in roughly 36 hours, but we know this is tough for people who are still waiting for service to be restored.
Some of our hardest-hit communities to the south include, but are not limited to, Crete, Matteson, Country Club Hills, University Park, Homewood, Harvey and Oak Lawn. The National Weather Service has confirmed 4 tornadoes and pockets of straight line wind gusts that contributed to widespread damage.
Our crews remain on-site around the clock making repairs, rebuilding infrastructure damaged or destroyed by severe storms and restoring power as safely and quickly as possible.
Our Care Crews will be in action again today, while supplies last, at:
➡️ LOCATION CHANGE: 1321 Main Street, Crete IL - 10 a.m.
➡️ 4200 W. 183rd Street, Country Club Hills, IL - 10:30 a.m.
➡️ Waukegan City Hall, 100 N. Martin Luther King Jr Ave, Waukegan - 12 p.m.

Thank you for reaching out Jordan. Your neighbors may be on a different electric supply line. If damage to our system is limited to your section of the power grid, it's possible for some of your neighbors to still have power. You can see updates for your outage at https://t.co/MJQeQozpeb.
We apologize that your service has not been restored yet. The destructive 100mph winds and tornado touch-downs have caused extensive damage across the entire territory, and we are rebuilding the grid in some places while also working to restore all of our impacted customers. We will not stop until everyone is restored. We assure you, you have not been forgotten, and we hope to power you back up soon.
