Businesses in Illinois benefit from energy choice thanks to deregulation. They can select competitive suppliers for electricity and/or natural gas, depending on the market.
Illinois’s electricity deregulation was introduced in 1997, and natural gas markets are deregulated. Both electricity and natural gas markets are deregulated; municipal aggregation is significant.
Major utilities in Illinois include Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) and Ameren Illinois. These utilities continue to deliver power through their transmission and distribution networks, while customers can choose a separate energy supplier in deregulated areas.
Energy brokers help businesses compare multiple suppliers, negotiate fixed-rate contracts, and manage ongoing energy needs. They offer insights into market trends, renewable energy options, demand response programs, and efficiency measures to reduce costs and risk.
