Even in this high-priced environment, it is likely that the utility, AMEREN or COM ED, is your best bet for power supply.

Citizens Utility Board

See what great services we offer Land of Lincoln consumers!
Since its inception in 1984, the Citizens Utility Board has been blocking rate hikes and fighting for consumer protections and better service from the state’s investor-owned electric, gas and telephone companies. Since 1984, CUB has helped save Illinois consumers more than $10 billion by blocking rate hikes, winning refunds, cutting phone bills, and fighting for consumer protections in Springfield.

Just 2 days before high summer power prices take effect for millions of Illinois electricity customers, CUB Executive Director Sarah Moskowitz was at POWER Act Lobby Day to urge her to legislators to pass reforms to protect consumers from paying energy costs that data centers should pay themselves. Link in bio to urge Springfield to pass the POWER Act.

Sarah & Scott from CUB are thankful for all the advocates who went to Springfield today for POWER Act Lobby Day. We haven't been able to pass the POWER Act yet, but this problem isn't going away--electric bills will only get higher unless we take decisive action to hold Big Tech and their data centers accountable for their costs. Please urge your legislators to vote for the POWER Act: https://buff.ly/qcI66CR

CUB is LIVE in Springfield for POWER Act Lobby Day: Working to Make Data Centers Pay Their Fair Share!

Rallying for the POWER Act! Illinois must hold data centers accountable for their outsized impact on families’ utility bills.⚡️

We're on the way to Springfield for POWER Act Lobby Day. What is the POWER Act?
It would require data centers to bring their own new clean power if they want firm electric service that won’t be curtailed at times of high demand.
Translated: It would hold Big Tech accountable and make data centers pay their fair share!
The stakes are high: Millions of electricity customers in Illinois face a second consecutive summer of skyrocketing power bills--and a big reason is soaring demand from new and proposed data centers.
WHY should WE pay higher electric bills for wealthy Big Tech Data centers?
Can't make it to Springfield today? That's OK! Link in bio to urge your legislators to support the POWER Act.
