Revenue 94,307.7 thousand dollars. Sales 724,820 MWh. Customers 85,245. Cents per kWh = revenue ÷ megawatt-hours × 100. Monthly bill = revenue × 1,000 ÷ customers ÷ 12.

Why the bill spikes

Season

The 2025 monthly average in Illinois was 717 kWh. A hot or cold month can sit far from that. Compare kilowatt-hours with the same month last year before you blame the rate.

A rate change

The energy supply average moved −0.8% from 2024. That is not the same thing as a new commission order. Illinois Commerce Commission is the public docket desk.

How to lower the bill

  1. Read kilowatt-hours first. If use is up, the dollar total can rise on an unchanged rate.
  2. Check whether the read is actual or estimated. The true-up rule needs verification in the tariff.
  3. If a supplier or aggregator is also on the account, add that charge to the utility charge.
  4. Ask about budget billing and an income-qualified discount. Eligibility needs verification.
  5. If you are on time-of-use, move flexible load out of the expensive window. Confirm the window on the tariff.

Holding the 2024 price fixed, the usage change accounts for $0.09 a month. The price change, applied to 2025 usage, accounts for −$0.77.

What was Energy Services Providers's average residential rate?

Using 2025 EIA-861 revenue and sales, the energy supply average was 13.01¢ per kWh. Average use was 709 kWh a month and the average bill was $92.19. This folds in whatever customer charges and riders the utility reported. It is not the marginal rate on your tariff.

Did Energy Services Providers raise rates?

The energy supply average price changed −0.8% from 2024 to 2025, from 13.12¢ to 13.01¢. That is average revenue per kilowatt-hour, not a commission order. No 2025–2026 order for this utility was retrieved for this page. A separate rider can still move a single month.

What bill assistance can Energy Services Providers customers ask about?

LIHEAP is the federal program for home energy bills (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/programs/liheap). Energy Services Providers may also offer an income-qualified discount, budget billing, or a medical baseline. The current offer, income cutoff, and how to apply need verification with the state LIHEAP office and Illinois Commerce Commission.

Are data centers why this bill went up?

Large computing load is raising U.S. electricity demand, and regulators can later recover new generation and wires costs from customers. EIA has not published a dollar line that isolates data centers on this utility's residential bill. That pass-through needs verification.
