ICC hearing examiner directed to draft a nearly 200 million refund order for Commonwealth Edison Byron I costs. Residential customers would receive about 35 dollars each if the order stands, while ComEd disputes the amount as excessive. The case stems from cost overruns and a 495 million rate increase approved in 1985 that was later overturned.
