If ComEd is your utility
- ComEd says residential customers who began net metering on or after January 1, 2025 receive credits that offset charges in the Supply section of the bill; customers interconnected by December 31, 2024 keep full retail net metering for 30 years. Credits don't expire for customers interconnected on or after January 1, 2025. Net metering starts after ComEd approves interconnection and issues a signed Certificate of Completion.
