Synapse investigated Commonwealth Edison Company’s management, maintenance, and funding of its distribution system.  The analysis found that ComEd had not properly maintained and invested in its distribution system during the 1990s and that these failures led to significant distribution system outages during the summers of 1998 and 1999.  Project completed in November 2001.
