Crain’s recently reported that after more than 1 year of charging customers MORE than COMED and the City will send them back to the utility (AFTER the summer)!

No one likes an “I told you so”…..so I won’t say it.

 

One year ago: I posted: Chicago electric bills to rise up to 18% in June

http://realgyenergyservices.com/chicago-electric-bills-rise-18-june/ which included the following:

The idea is that “aggregation” of the residents will provide the marketer the ability to deliver a lower price. If that were the case, no one could beat the utility because the question is who would be a bigger aggregator than a utility? The utility AGGREGATES everyone in the state. Yet, Realgy beats ComEd and Ameren consistently. So why can’t municipalities come in lower?

The difference is cost of service and overhead.

Municipalities require energy marketers to deliver savings compared to the utility, take on billing and collections, and pay the municipality a portion of the margin. The simple fact remains; the cost municipalities want to collect makes them higher than the utility.

Realgy continues to post savings compared to both COMED and Ameren.
