Springfield commercial electricity at a glance
Springfield (Sangamon County) is served by City Water, Light and Power, a municipal utility. Springfield's businesses are served by City Water, Light and Power, the state capital's municipal utility, which sells power at its own published rate; there is no retail supplier to choose. The EIA publishes a statewide figure, not a city one: the average Illinois commercial account paid 14.53¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 5,964 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable.
