The Power of Choice
For the first time in nearly a century Illinois residents and small businesses served by a regulated electric utility have the opportunity to join together to get lower prices for their electricity supply.
You and your neighbors have the opportunity to save money on the
cost of your electricity supply. More than 2 million Illinois residents have already done so. A change in law in January 2010 permitted community residents to pool, or aggregate, their electric usage to seek competitive bids for lower prices on the open market. That law has driven down the price of electricity*.
