Useful advice needs
a traceable basis.

Use primary sources.

Changing market, tariff, utility, program, and regulatory details should link to the relevant official source: the Illinois Commerce Commission, utility, Illinois Power Agency, PJM, MISO, EIA, or administering agency. Links to a general homepage are weaker than a directly relevant tariff or program page and should be improved when a guide is refreshed.

Make the date meaningful.

Page dates describe that guide’s recorded update or review. A redesigned template does not make every underlying claim newly verified. Time-sensitive rates and deadlines need their own applicable period and source. Confirm current source material before making a decision.

Explain calculations.

Energy Desk examples are illustrative and are never presented as customer case studies. Formulas, units, missing-data rules, and exclusions are available on the methodology page. Forecast assumptions must not masquerade as actual supplier offers or guaranteed results.

Describe expertise honestly.

Content is attributed to the Illinois Commercial Energy editorial team and, where recorded, the JakenEnergy commercial energy team. No invented credentials, certifications, customer counts, or testimonials are used. Organization-level authorship does not imply an individual professional certification.

Keep content useful.

Each indexable guide should answer a distinct question and help the reader take a sensible next step. Length alone does not establish quality. Retired generated material remains outside the published reviewed library unless it is substantively reviewed, corrected, and assigned a distinct purpose.

Corrections and limitations.

Report a questionable statement or broken source through the contact form, including the page and passage. Educational guidance is not legal, tax, engineering, or investment advice. Current tariffs, eligibility, and signed terms govern real accounts.

Illustrative imagery.
