Increasing Reliability Issues
The year 2011 has been quite a challenge for ComEd as the reliability of its service has significantly declined when compared to recent years and other utility companies. Since the Blizzard of 2011 there were widespread power outages that have occurred in its service area in subsequent storms; Most notably the storms of June 29, 2011, July 11, 2011 (was ComEd's largest outage in its history) and on August 2, 2011. All of these storms have knocked out power to at least 40% of its customers and has caused a lot of frustration towards the company.

Famous quotes containing the words increasing and/or issues:
“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
