About Illinois

The Illinois Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Act of 1997 restructured the state's electric market and provided for a transition to competitive retail markets. Illinois utilities divested their generation and entered into long term wholesale purchase agreements with the new generation owners to last through 2006. The transitional retail market structure during this 10 year time period included rate rollbacks and freezes as well as transition cost charges. In January 2007, the state moved to the next phase of the transition with new default utility rates based on the results of a wholesale auction that took place in early September 2006. Legislators have decided not to use the auction to set future prices and will instead direct a state agency to buy power for the utilities.

Since the current ComEd and Ameren bundled rates had been frozen for a decade, many Illinois businesses that had not yet chosen competitive suppliers saw significant double-digit increases in their default energy rates. Liberty Power entered the market in September 2007 to bring Illinois businesses lower competitive electricity supply rates and outstanding customer service.

We currently serve Small and Mid-Size Businesses, National Accounts, Large Commercial and Industrial Customers and Government and Institutional entities in the ComEd and Ameren service territories.

We have introduced a variety of innovative fixed price products at various term lengths as well as variable rate plans that guarantee both lower prices and price protection over time.
