The Champaign market
Commercial energy in Champaign
Champaign is served by Ameren Illinois for delivery, within MISO. Illinois businesses can choose a competitive supplier for the supply portion of the bill while Ameren Illinois owns the wires, delivers the power, and handles outages — that part never changes when you switch.
Because the supply charge is the largest, shoppable part of a Illinois commercial bill, running your account through a competitive bid is the most direct way to lower it. USA Energy makes 26+ suppliers compete for it and locks the lowest fixed rate for the longest sensible term, at no cost to you.
What it costs
What Champaign businesses pay for power
Illinois’s statewide commercial average is 13.07¢/kWh — 6% below the U.S. average. Your real rate depends on your usage, your Ameren Illinois delivery charges, and your contract timing, which is exactly where we go to work.

Local cost drivers
Capacity and a two-season Midwest climate
Central and southern Illinois sit in MISO, where capacity costs tied to your peak demand are a real part of a large-account bill. The Midwest also runs both ends of the calendar — humid summers that drive cooling and cold winters that drive heating and, for many operations, natural gas load.
We treat electricity and gas as one procurement problem here — locking fixed rates on both, aligning terms, and timing the contract so you’re not renewing into a summer capacity peak or a winter spike.
