Chicago Sun-Times - All | ComEd electric customers brace for double-digit spike in bills by Brett Chase AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. ComEd electric customers in Chicago will face at least a 12 % increase in their monthly residential bills—rising from an average of $107 to $120—starting in June, as a temporary consumer‑credit tied to nuclear and renewable energy expires and AI‑driven data centers, which now number over 80 in northern Illinois with another 75 projects proposed, drive up power demand. The surge reflects both the credit’s loss and the high‑energy consumption of these facilities, which are outpacing the state’s ability to replace retiring coal plants with new wind and solar capacity. Utility officials say the rates are set by the PJM grid operator, not by ComEd, and advocates are urging that data‑center operators fund clean‑energy upgrades and greater regulatory oversight to curb further price hikes.

Chicago Sun-Times - All | Illinois in line for $148.8M opioid settlement payout from Purdue Pharma by Mitchell Armentrout AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Illinois will receive $148.8 million from Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family as part of a nationwide $7.4 billion opioid settlement, with payments spread over the next 15 years—most of it arriving in the first three years. Attorney General Kwame Raoul emphasized that the money will be allocated equitably to support addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery programs across the state, acknowledging that no sum can fully repair the damage caused by Purdue’s aggressive marketing of OxyContin. The settlement follows a 2016 federal investigation and a 2019 Illinois lawsuit; while the Sacklers are barred permanently from selling opioids in the U.S., the broader agreement requires the family to pay $1.5 billion and Purdue $900 million initially, with additional installments thereafter. Nationwide opioid settlements have exceeded $58 billion, with Illinois earmarked for $1.6 billion total, of which over $531 million has already been disbursed. The funds aim to address the ongoing opioid crisis, which has claimed roughly 725,000 U.S. lives since 1999 and saw a spike in Cook County overdoses during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
