The Difference Between a Utility and Supplier
In Illinois‘ deregulated market, your energy comes from two parties — utilities and suppliers. Utilities like ComEd are delivery centers for energy. Utilities maintain power lines and transmission systems, respond to power outages and ensure every customer receives the energy they pay for.
Suppliers set the rates a user pays for their power and utilities send it to the users home or business. While utilities are in distinct service area and cannot be shopped, consumers get to choose their third-party suppliers. This system promotes competition among supply companies, which prevents monopolies and keeps the total cost of energy down.
ComEd offers a default rate called the Price to Compare on your electric bill. This rate changes monthly making it hard to budget your electric bills around it and why a fixed rate option with a supplier may be better.
