Balanced Energy Sources

Illinois has a deregulated electricity market, allowing businesses to choose their energy supplier for competitive pricing and flexible energy portfolios. Our demand charges, which are a key factor in determining energy delivery costs, are among some of the lowest in comparison to other large Midwest utilities.

Ensuring Reliability for Large Load Demand

We build, own, and maintain substations and switching stations to meet redundancy requirements and exceed reliability standards. We continue to invest in grid enhancements and modernization centered on maintaining safe and reliable service.

Our Commitment to Clean Energy

Illinois' Climate and Equitable Jobs Acts (CEJA) includes provisions to phase our carbon emissions from the energy sector, putting Illinois on track for 100% clean energy by 2025. Our ongoing grid enhancements prepare for a safe and reliable transition to clean energy. Our renewable energy options can support your sustainability goals and offset electricity costs.

Energy Generation

With energy infrastructure already in place and a balanced mix of generation sources including wind, solar, battery, gas and nuclear, businesses have the flexibility to choose an energy portfolio that meets their needs.
