Cicero price to compare
Thanks to deregulation, you’re free to select your own energy supplier in Illinois. But if you don’t, you’ll purchase power directly from your utility company at the default rate — also known as the price to compare (PTC). You can also use this number to compare rates and see if a separate energy provider has cheaper plans. Right now, ComEd’s PTC in Cicero is 6.552 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This price is valid until May 31, 2025.
Types of energy plans in Cicero
As you’re exploring Choose Energy’s marketplace, you’ll come across several different types of energy plans. Here’s a breakdown of the most common options:
- Fixed-rate plans: These plans offer a fixed electricity rate for the length of your contract, which can last between 12 and 36 months. With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll be protected from price hikes in the energy market — but you’ll need to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan before your contract is up.
- Variable-rate plans: If you have a variable-rate plan, your rate is tied to wholesale energy costs. As a result, your rate can change each month. There are no contracts with variable-rate plans, so you’re free to switch providers or end your plan at any time without an ETF.
- Prepaid and no-deposit plans: Many companies will require an initial deposit before beginning service. A popular type of no-deposit plan is a prepaid plan, which allows you to pay for your energy before you use it. When your account runs low, you’ll get an alert to add more funds.
- Renewable energy plans: Some electricity companies sell green energy plans, which include energy generated from renewable sources (such as solar and wind). Other companies will purchase renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset customers’ energy usage with power from renewable sources.

Frequently asked questions about Cicero energy
Is a deposit required for my energy plan?
