Plug In Illinois - Illinois Electric Choice
The Illinois Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997 restructured the state's electric service industry to allow a choice of electric suppliers. With electric choice, the electric supply may now be provided by different companies known as Retail Electric Suppliers (RESs).
Currently about 75% of the electricity consumed by Illinois' commercial and industrial customers is provided by Retail Electric Suppliers.
Plug in Illinois is owned and operated by the Illinois Commerce Commission (http://www.icc.illinois.gov/). The ICC's mission is to pursue an appropriate balance between the interest of consumers and existing and emerging service providers to ensure the provision of adequate, efficient, reliable, safe and least-cost public utility services.
The Plug In Illinois website lists rates and plans from all competing electric and natural gas companies in Illinois. Since it is open to all competing energy companies, the list and navigation is quite cumbersome and does not insure consumers are picking from financially stable and reputable electric companies.
Much different from the Plug in Illinois, SaveOnEnergy.com pre-screens and pre-qualifies energy companies in Illinois based on strict criteria. When shopping and selecting an energy company at SaveOnEnergy.com you can rest assured you are only seeing offers from the top rated companies that have been hand selected based on financial stability, proven management and market expertise, proven billing practices and customer service, and competitive rates and innovative products.
