Residential and commercial customers living in Aurora, IL can shop around for a new electric supplier and lower the supply rate on the electric bills. Aurora electricity rates fall under the Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) utility service area. Legislation passed in 1997 unbundled the responsibilities of the Illinois utilities and opened the door for outside energy suppliers to offer generation services to Illinoisans. Deregulating the electricity market has pushed down energy prices in the state while giving residents more options when choosing an electric supplier.

The city of Aurora is located 40 miles west of Chicago and has a population of just under 200,000 making it the second-largest populated city in Illinois. The weather consists of warm wet summers and cold winters with an average rainfall of just over 40 inches per year.
