Editorial and Sourcing Policy

Our priority is to help Illinois businesses understand regulated utility charges, retail supply offers, contract terms, and market risks without presenting estimates as guaranteed results.

Source hierarchy

Time-sensitive claims should link to primary sources such as the Illinois Commerce Commission, Illinois Power Agency, ComEd, Ameren Illinois, PJM, MISO, or the IRS. A publication date and an as-of date are included when a rate, deadline, or rule can change.

Numbers and examples

We do not publish unsourced savings averages or invented client case studies. Worked examples are labeled illustrative, show their assumptions, and are not representations of actual customer outcomes.

Review and corrections

Priority guides are reviewed by the Illinois Commercial Energy editorial team and the JakenEnergy commercial energy team. Readers can report a correction through the contact page. Content is updated when a material source changes.

Scope

Content is general educational information, not legal, tax, engineering, or investment advice. Utility service territories, account eligibility, tariffs, and supplier terms must be confirmed for the specific account.
