How Commercial Energy Procurement Works in Illinois

Illinois operates a deregulated energy market for both electricity and natural gas, allowing commercial customers to select a supplier while continuing to receive delivery service from their local utility.

In Illinois, energy procurement is often treated as part of broader purchasing and governance processes. American Wholesale Energy works within this context by helping businesses assess supplier options methodically and understand how contract design affects long-term outcomes.
