Understand your bill
What determines your Elgin electric bill?
Your electricity supplier is only one part of the final bill. ComEd delivery charges and other regulated charges can also affect what you pay.
Electricity supply
This is the portion associated with the electricity supply itself. You may receive supply service from ComEd or an eligible alternative retail electric supplier.
ComEd delivery
ComEd operates the distribution system that delivers electricity to Elgin homes and businesses. Delivery charges remain applicable regardless of supplier choice.
Transmission and adjustments
ComEd's Price to Compare covers supply and transmission components. Purchased Electricity Adjustments and other applicable charges can affect the final supply cost.
Before you switch
Five things to check before choosing a plan
Compare the supplier's effective price against the current ComEd Price to Compare.
Check whether the offer is month-to-month, 6 months, 10 months, 12 months or longer.
Determine whether you will owe a fee if you cancel before the contract expires.
A low introductory rate may change later. Understand how and when the supplier can change the rate.

alternative retail electric suppliers.
What is the ComEd electricity rate in Elgin right now?

Yes. Elgin residents can compare renewable
electricity supplier plans and may also have
access to community solar programs that
provide eligible credits on ComEd accounts.
Why is my Elgin electricity bill higher in summer?

electricity usage. Compare available supplier
offers with the current ComEd Price to Compare,
then review the complete contract terms before
enrolling.
