In an effort to promote competition among electric power suppliers, Illinois lawmakers approved the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997. Today, commercial and industrial customers have a number of retail electric suppliers to choose from.
Illinois customers have three options for meeting their electric supply need in 2007 and beyond:
- BGS – Basic Generation Service
- RTP – Real Time Pricing
- RES – Retail Electric Supplier
