 Deregulation legislation allows Illinois commercial customers to
stay with their current energy supplier or purchase electricity on a
contract basis from another licensed supplier. Contract prices are
based on a negotiated or competitive selection process controlled by
the customer. Prices are set for a specified term. Choosing a
supplier typically provides price and budget stability for a
contract period of 12 to 36 months.This value-added service is
available to members of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of
Commerce. Participation in the cooperative requires continuous
membership in the chamber during the term of the energy agreement.
Businesses that are not currently a member of the chamber may join
the chamber to qualify for participation.
Co-op membership is based on the business location. Members pay a
registration fee for each location. Each location can have multiple
meters or accounts. Members complete a co-op application and credit
application and must meet the credit qualifications stipulated by
the suppliers.
