Real-time electricity, utility & energy cost stories from local TV news stations Only electricity-deregulated states are shown below.
Chicago residents and businesses served by ComEd have the power to
choose their own electricity supplier in Illinois's deregulated energy market.
Illinois rates average 12–16¢/kWh. ComEd and Ameren service territories both have robust competitive retail markets. Shopping for a competitive rate could save you hundreds of dollars each year.
Illinois opened its electricity market to competition, meaning ComEd
still delivers your power but you can choose who generates and supplies it.
This separation gives Chicago consumers real choice and competitive pricing that regulated states don't have.
