What is the primary reason for this 8-K filing?

This 8-K filing reports on two significant regulatory events for Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), a subsidiary of Exelon. These are a request for a delivery service rate increase and the opening of electric supply competition for a segment of its non-residential customers.

What is the impact of the rate increase request on investors?

The request for a delivery service rate increase, if approved by the ICC, could lead to higher revenue and improved profitability for ComEd. Investors will be closely watching the ICC's review process and the final outcome of this rate case.

What does the opening of electric supply competition mean for ComEd and its customers?

For ComEd, opening electric supply competition to approximately 18,000 medium-sized non-residential customers means these customers can now choose alternative suppliers for their electricity. This could lead to increased competition for ComEd's supply business. For the affected customers, it offers the potential for lower electricity prices or customized supply arrangements.

Where can I find more detailed information about these events?

The filing references attached exhibits, including investor slides (Exhibit 99.1) that provide further details on the rate increase request and a press release (Exhibit 99.2) regarding the opening of electric supply competition. Investors are encouraged to review these exhibits for more in-depth information.
