Chicago-based website helps consumers save on energy bills

Jeremy Pettet is saving 18 percent on his electric bill because he used a Chicago-based website, Power2Switch, to find a ComEd competitor offering cheaper rates.

Pettet, whose electric bill averages $51 a month, would have saved $109.80 off of his total $610 in 2010 power bills had he had the alternative provider the entire year. He switched to the new electricity provider in February of this year.

After he typed his ZIP code into the Power2Switch website homepage four electric providers popped up. Pettet, who rents his apartment, chose Champion Energy Services, based in Houston. Champion is one of seven companies competing with ComEd in the local market.

Pettet works in marketing so he is especially sensitive about authenticating web transactions. He made sure that no financial or private information was required in order to make the switch.

“Knowing that I wasn’t giving my Social Security number or going onto an unsecured website was important,” he said.

“I chose a renewable [electric] rate because it’s important to me that as much of the power as possible is gathered through wind, solar, biofuels or other renewable sources,” said Pettet, a 29-year-old Lake View resident who learned about Power2Switch through a friend’s Twitter-feed tweet.

“I realized that I could do something to save money that fits with my beliefs and values as far as being environmentally conscious,” he said. “I didn’t know I had a choice.”

Pettet started scrutinizing his spending habits after his brother lost his job in September 2009 and took a year to find a new one. Jeremy also garnered an appreciation for recycling and self-sustainability from growing up on a farm in Logansport, Ind., in a culture of making every penny count.

Paul Ring, editor and founder of online digest said Illinois’ two renewable-energy credit (REC) trackers, PJM and MISO, certify the sources and amounts of power on the grid generated from wind, solar and other renewable resources.

“One REC equals one megawatt hour of renewable energy production,” he said.

Power2Switch got its start at the University of Chicago’s Booth School two years ago, after founder Seyi Fabode, 35, grew frustrated that he had no choice of electric provider at his apartment in the West Loop.
