Office of Retail Market Development Illinois Commerce Commission 2010 Annual Report

The 2010 Annual Report from the Illinois Commerce Commission’s (ICC) Office of Retail Market Development finds customers are now shopping across every commercial and industrial customer electrical market segment, and takes an optimistic view that competition is poised to make great inroads in the residential sector.

The report found more than half the total electric load of the state’s two largest electric companies is now provided by alternative power suppliers. Major gains were especially evident in the small commercial customer market segment. At least one-third of all small commercial customers in each of the four major utility territories are now served by alternative power suppliers.

Statewide, 41 alternative power suppliers have been certified by the ICC to provide competitive electricity supply to customers. In addition to existing offers, 10 suppliers have obtained certification from the ICC to serve residential and small commercial customers and two more certification applications are pending.
