Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about rate analysis for municipal & government in Illinois

How much can a Illinois municipal & government facility actually save with rate analysis?

We model municipal & government savings from your actual usage. At 200,000-800,000 kWh/month and current PJM/MISO pricing near 8.7¢/kWh, a 23% improvement is approximately $48,024 annually — a number we confirm against your bills during a free assessment.

Why does the PJM/MISO market matter for municipal & government energy buying in Illinois?

Illinois operates across both PJM and MISO markets, requiring expertise in multiple wholesale systems. For a varies widely by facility type municipal & government load, that structure determines when prices are favorable and which contract type protects you — exactly what our rate analysis process is built around.

How long does rate analysis take for a Illinois municipal & government business?

Most municipal & government engagements run 1-3 weeks from first call to an active contract, with savings starting the moment your new PJM/MISO supply agreement goes live. There is no cost to begin — suppliers, not you, pay our fee.

Is rate analysis worth it for our load profile?

A varies widely by facility type load of about 200,000-800,000 kWh/month is large enough that even modest rate improvements compound. We quantify it against your bills first, free, so the decision rests on your numbers.

What contract structure fits a municipal & government load in the PJM/MISO market?

It depends on how much PJM/MISO price risk your municipal & government operation can absorb. A steady varies widely by facility type load often favors a longer fixed term for budget certainty; a more variable one leaves room for an indexed component. We model both against your 200,000-800,000 kWh/month before recommending one.

When should a Illinois municipal & government business start the rate analysis process?

Earlier than most do. Starting 6 to 12 months before your contract expires lets us time your rate analysis to favorable PJM/MISO conditions rather than negotiating under deadline pressure — which is when municipal & government buyers overpay.
