ComEd: business electricity review

Local service context

For a ComEd customer with several retail locations, check the individual account classes and supplier dates before proposing a common renewal. Build the electricity comparison from complete meter-level bills, the current service classification and signed supply documents. Show utility charges, supplier charges and forecast usage separately so a lower unit rate is not mistaken for a guaranteed reduction in the total bill.

Apply the Illinois eligibility rules

Competitive electric supply is available in the main investor-owned utility territories, including ComEd and Ameren Illinois. Verify the account class and applicable eligibility before enrollment. A municipal electric account should be reviewed under that provider’s own arrangement rather than assumed to operate like a ComEd account.

Gas supply choice and transportation depend on the local distribution utility and program. Record whether the account is with Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas, North Shore Gas or another utility, and compare commodity pricing in consistent billed units.

Account checks before requesting offers

For this ComEd account, resolve the service-territory and contract questions below before using a price comparison. The current invoice, exact address and account class provide the starting evidence.

• Group only correctly identified ComEd meters and record their current generation-supply responsibility.
• Ask how each proposal handles capacity, transmission, recurring charges and added or removed sites across the term.
• Verify the current ComEd premises, authorized signer and active supplier before making a change; request a complete written offer instead of relying on an advertised rate.
