History and Facts on Deregulation in Illinois:

11/02: The Illinois Commerce Commission issued an interim order to discontinue the current rate for Commonwealth Edison’s large customers with 3 Megawatts of demand or more and charge competitive rates by June 2006. The current rate will not be available to new or returning customers after June 2003. Commonwealth Edison stated that competitive rates would help spur competition in the State.

12/00: The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) issued an update on the status of competition in the State. The Illinois electric market first opened in October 1999 to a third of non-residential customers. As of January 1, 2001, all commercial and industrial customers are eligible for retail access to competitive suppliers, and residential customers will become eligible starting in May 1, 2002. The majority of customers who switched to alternative suppliers were in Commonwealth Edison's territory. About 12 percent of ComEd's eligible customers representing about half of the company's load switched to alternative suppliers. Illinois Power had 6.9 percent of customers switch and AmerenCIPS had 6.8 percent. None was recorded for Illinois Light Co. The ICC stated that a lack of competition could be due to a need for more suppliers, electricity shortages, inefficient transmission system, a lack of uniform interconnection standards, and the surrounding states lack of restructuring.

4/01: The ICC issued its "Assessment of Retail and Wholesale Market Competition in the Illinois Electric Industry." The report concluded that only in the ComEd service territory were switching rates and supplier activity high in 2000. "Approximately 22 percent of eligible customers in the ComEd service territory had switchedto delivery services," and "62 percent of eligible usage had switched from bundled to delivery services." "At the end of 2000, about eight suppliers were active in the ComEd service territory; only three or four suppliers had acquired a fairly significant number of customers. In the downstate territories, by contrast, few suppliers are operating."

1/00: The ICC issued a report, "Assessment of Competition in the Illinois Electric Industry Three Months Following the Initiation of Restructuring." The report summarizes the status of consumer choice in the State, finding that more consumers have switched suppliers in Commonwealth Edison's territory that other Illinois utilities, likely because ComEd has comparatively high rates for the State.
