IL Schools Secretly Saving Millions Comparing Electricity Suppliers
Real-World Savings and Strategies
Several Illinois school districts have reported remarkable savings by switching suppliers. For instance, a school district in the Chicago area saved nearly $500,000 annually by renegotiating their electricity supply contracts2. These savings allow schools to reinvest in technology, hire additional staff, or enhance student programs. The process typically involves soliciting bids from multiple suppliers and analyzing the proposals to identify the most cost-effective option.
