Electricity rates can rise between 2-11% annually, according to the Energy Information Administration, making budgeting unpredictable. In
2007, Illinois electricity rates jumped drastically for
consumers, for most 30-60%, for some almost 100%, after
a ten-year rate freeze expired. For many, this came as a
shock and caused consumers to cut back on other
necessities to compensate. With solar power, you lock in
your utility rates. No more surprises.
