Congratulations to the following new officers: President: Connie Barnes How are Utility Rates Set and How Do They Impact Me? November's monthly GRO meeting will feature Jeff Ocrutt, formerly the personal policy advisor for Illinois Commerce Commissioner Miguel del Valle. Jeff will address the group on ComEd's history and explain how the state of Illinois sets the utility's customer billing rates and what the latest fights down in Springfield may mean for customers in the future. The Illinois Commerce Commission regulates private utilities in Illinois and Jeff handled all policy matters that crossed the Commissioner del Valle's desk. In 2018, Jeff founded Chapman Energy Strategies LLC to help regulators, companies, advocates, and customers navigate and facilitate the growing energy revolution. CES provides regulatory and policy insights to achieve better long-term outcomes for the public interest.
