Illinois Retail Electricity Market
Before deregulation, businesses, of all sizes, received their electric service from one company that generated the electricity, transmitted, and distributed it directly to the business. The generator also sold you and serviced your electricity account. Over the last ten years Illinois has been establishing an open energy market that allows businesses to choose the supplier that best fits their requirements of cost and benefit. The Illinois Commerce Commission continues to regulate the market insuring a safe and reliable supply of electricity.
What are my power supply options?
Electricity is provided to you through a three-step process: generation, transmission/distribution, and supply. Illinois' Electric Service Industry gives you the ability to choose your electricity supplier. Electricity is still delivered over the same poles and wires and is not subject to choice. You now have the opportunity to compare prices, enjoy greater savings and choose a service that best fits your needs and preferences.
Electricity Supplier
Glacial Energy is an Electricity Supplier who buys electricity wholesale from the generator and then sells and services businesses directly. The benefits of deregulation are a more competitive market that provides lower electricity prices, alternative energy options and better customer service.
