Darien Staying With Same Power Company

City urges residents to be careful with companies trying to get them to switch electric suppliers.

DARIEN, IL — Darien has not changed electric suppliers, despite the communications residents may be receiving. A family recently received a letter, which appeared to be from ComEd, announcing that their electric supplier was being switched, the city said in a statement.

"We are still with ComEd and would let the residents know if we were in the process of changing," the statement said. "Please be careful with all these companies out there trying to get you to switch, as they can be misleading and convince you the city is behind."

If residents have questions about this issue, call Bryon Vana at City Hall at 630-852-5000. To learn more about your power bill, alternative pricing plans and electric competition, visit the Citizen Utilities Board's website.
