Representatives of Commonwealth Edison are set to withstand a grilling from aldermen during a wide-ranging hearing on Thursday as the utility giant vies to remain the city’s sole provider of electricity.

The City Council Committee on Environmental Protection and Energy is scheduled to host a subject matter at 10 a.m. Thursday to discuss ComEd’s “annual franchise report” and the company’s “summer preparedness” plans. The franchise report has not been publicly released.
