How Power of Choice Works
Some Enlightening Changes
Choices, competitive prices, and new services?that’s what the Illinois Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law offers customers. It restructures the state?s electric utility industry.
There is the potential to save substantially more off your electric bill by switching to a new electric supplier. With the assistance of this site, an aggregator, or energy consultant you can find a detailed comparison of multiple electric companies and their energy rates. By providing a bill to one of these services they can do a bill audit that will show you a clear apples to apples comparison of the potential savings on your electric bill if you were to switch. You may fill out the form below and an approved energy consultant will assist you in a bill audit and electric rate comparison among the available electric suppliers in your area. If you would like to call someone immediately feel free to call us at 817-929-7095.
How Power of Choice Works
There are three steps to getting electricity: generation (production of electricity), transmission (sending high voltage power to distribution points), and distribution (delivering it to your business or home). Unless you choose differently, your current utility company will continue to handle all three steps. Electric restructuring empowers customers to choose who supplies the generation portion ? the current electric utility or another supplier. You may choose to change suppliers or remain with your current electric utility. Regardless of the generation supplier, your current electric company remains responsible for delivering the electricity and providing reliable delivery service.
