Hedge Your Business Against Illinois Electricity Rate Increases With SunMatic Solar
Illinois business owners now face unprecedented pressure from skyrocketing electricity costs. In mid-2025, PJM’s regional capacity auction sent fees soaring to $329.17/MW-day. The result: average commercial bills increased 20–25%, with Ameren customers seeing rates leap from 8¢/kWh to 12¢/kWh. These capacity charges—driven by grid constraints and demand growth—are forecasted to rise further through 2027.
