Major utility territories — ComEd and Ameren Illinois — where supply is competitive.
Typical savings for Illinois commercial accounts that switch from default utility supply rates.
How Illinois Deregulated Energy Works for Business
Illinois restructured its electricity market in 1997. The law separated generation from delivery. ComEd and Ameren Illinois still own the local grid, read meters, and maintain infrastructure. The supply portion of your commercial bill is open to competition from ICC-certified retail electric suppliers.
We start by pulling your historical usage through a signed Letter of Authorization and auditing your current bill. Then we request fixed-rate bids from 30+ suppliers, normalize the pass-throughs, and present the lowest true cost per kWh. You pick the term, the supplier handles the switch, and the new rate appears on your next utility bill.
