The Illinois Commerce Commission on March 30 approved a 75-day extension of the statutory deadline in Docket 26-0156, which concerns Commonwealth Edison Co.’s petition for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to build the GRIT (GRID Regional Infrastructure Transmission) project.
The chair said staff filed a motion to extend the deadline an additional 75 days because of the complexity of the project and the large number of affected landowners. "The order grants the motion and extends the deadline by 75 days," the chair said, and asked if there were any objections. Hearing none, the chair stated the order was approved without objection.
The GRIT project, as described at the meeting, would install four underground 138-kilovolt electric transmission lines and construct one new substation in Cook and DuPage counties. The commission noted there were no requests to speak and no public comments on the agenda item during this special open meeting.
The meeting record did not include a roll-call vote; commissioners McCabe, Paradis and Reddick were present in Chicago and Commissioner Kerrigan participated from Springfield. The meeting concluded after the single-item order was approved and the chair adjourned the session.
The extension delays the commission’s procedural deadline by 75 days; the meeting did not specify the new target date or further procedural milestones. Further filings or orders in Docket 26-0156 will appear on the commission docket sheet.
