Chalk up one more dubious distinction for this economic storm: Commonwealth Edison Co. has seen its number of accounts drop this year for the first time since 1953, when it started keeping records on the statistic.Well, the question I may ask have nothing to do with it, but I'll ask anyway. Is anyone dissatisfied with the level of service provided by ComEd?
ComEd CEO Frank Clark said Friday that the number of the utility’s customers has fallen by 17,000 this year. ComEd has 3.8 million customers in its northern Illinois service territory.
“This is the first time we’ve ever seen it,” he said during an analysts’ call for ComEd parent Exelon Corp. “It is an unusual event.”
He said he wasn’t sure what caused the falloff, theorizing that people losing their homes to foreclosure are moving in with friends or family.
