Question:
CAN COMMONWEALTH EDISON DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY IN A HEATWAVE

Answers:
The policy to "disconnect" electricity is the same regardless of the weather. But during heatwaves, they can implement a rolling brownout schedule - i.e., instead of supplying electricity to all areas 24 hours a day, each area is put on a schedule (e.g., the South and East parts of town have electricity from 8am - 11am and 2pm - 5pm and the North and West parts of town have electricity from 11am - 2pm and 5pm - 8pm). They usually only do it during the day.

But if you're asking if there is a law that prohibits the electric company from disconnecting your electricity during a heatwave because you didn't pay your bill, then the answer is no - they can disconnect it. They are not obligated to be charitable.
