"(220 ILCS 5/16-118)
Sec. 16-118. Services provided by electric utilities to
alternative retail electric suppliers.
(a) It is in the best interest of Illinois energy
consumers to promote fair and open competition in the
provision of electric power and energy and to prevent
anticompetitive practices in the provision of electric power
and energy. Therefore, to the extent an electric utility
provides electric power and energy or delivery services to
alternative retail electric suppliers and such services are
not subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, and are not competitive services, they
shall be provided through tariffs that are filed with the
Commission, pursuant to Article IX of this Act. Each electric
utility shall permit alternative retail electric suppliers to
interconnect facilities to those owned by the utility provided
they meet established standards for such interconnection, and
may provide standby or other services to alternative retail
electric suppliers. The alternative retail electric supplier
shall sign a contract setting forth the prices, terms and
conditions for interconnection with the electric utility and

10400HB4313ham001 - 3 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
the prices, terms and conditions for services provided by the
electric utility to the alternative retail electric supplier
in connection with the delivery by the electric utility of
electric power and energy supplied by the alternative retail
electric supplier.
(b) An electric utility shall file a tariff pursuant to
Article IX of the Act that would allow alternative retail
electric suppliers or electric utilities other than the
electric utility in whose service area retail customers are
located to issue single bills to the retail customers for both
the services provided by such alternative retail electric
supplier or other electric utility and the delivery services
provided by the electric utility to such customers. The tariff
filed pursuant to this subsection shall (i) require partial
payments made by retail customers to be credited first to the
electric utility's tariffed services, (ii) impose commercially
reasonable terms with respect to credit and collection,
including requests for deposits, (iii) retain the electric
utility's right to disconnect the retail customers, if it does
not receive payment for its tariffed services, in the same
manner that it would be permitted to if it had billed for the
services itself, and (iv) require the alternative retail
electric supplier or other electric utility that elects the
billing option provided by this tariff to include on each bill
to retail customers an identification of the electric utility
providing the delivery services and a listing of the charges

10400HB4313ham001 - 4 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
applicable to such services. The tariff filed pursuant to this
subsection may also include other just and reasonable terms
and conditions. In addition, an electric utility, an
alternative retail electric supplier or electric utility other
than the electric utility in whose service area the customer
is located, and a customer served by such alternative retail
electric supplier or other electric utility, may enter into an
agreement pursuant to which the alternative retail electric
supplier or other electric utility pays the charges specified
in Section 16-108, or other customer-related charges,
including taxes and fees, in lieu of such charges being
recovered by the electric utility directly from the customer.
(c) An electric utility with more than 100,000 customers
shall file a tariff pursuant to Article IX of this Act that
provides alternative retail electric suppliers, and electric
utilities other than the electric utility in whose service
area the retail customers are located, with the option to have
the electric utility purchase their receivables for power and
energy service provided to residential retail customers and
non-residential retail customers with a non-coincident peak
demand of less than 400 kilowatts. Receivables for power and
energy service of alternative retail electric suppliers or
electric utilities other than the electric utility in whose
service area the retail customers are located shall be
purchased by the electric utility at a just and reasonable
discount rate to be reviewed and approved by the Commission

10400HB4313ham001 - 5 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
after notice and hearing. The discount rate shall be based on
the electric utility's historical bad debt and any reasonable
start-up costs and administrative costs associated with the
electric utility's purchase of receivables. The discounted
rate for purchase of receivables shall be included in the
tariff filed pursuant to this subsection (c). The discount
rate filed pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be subject to
periodic Commission review. The electric utility retains the
right to impose the same terms on retail customers with
respect to credit and collection, including requests for
deposits, and retain the electric utility's right to
disconnect the retail customers, if it does not receive
payment for its tariffed services or purchased receivables, in
the same manner that it would be permitted to if the retail
customers purchased power and energy from the electric
utility. The tariff filed pursuant to this subsection (c)
shall permit the electric utility to recover from retail
customers any uncollected receivables that may arise as a
result of the purchase of receivables under this subsection
(c), may also include other just and reasonable terms and
conditions, and shall provide for the prudently incurred costs
associated with the provision of this service pursuant to this
subsection (c). Nothing in this subsection (c) permits the
double recovery of bad debt expenses from customers.
(d) An electric utility with more than 100,000 customers
shall file a tariff pursuant to Article IX of this Act that

10400HB4313ham001 - 6 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
would provide alternative retail electric suppliers or
electric utilities other than the electric utility in whose
service area retail customers are located with the option to
have the electric utility produce and provide single bills to
the retail customers for both the electric power and energy
service provided by the alternative retail electric supplier
or other electric utility and the delivery services provided
by the electric utility to the customers. The tariffs filed
pursuant to this subsection shall require the electric utility
to collect and remit customer payments for electric power and
energy service provided by alternative retail electric
suppliers or electric utilities other than the electric
utility in whose service area retail customers are located.
The tariff filed pursuant to this subsection shall require the
electric utility to include on each bill to retail customers
an identification of the alternative retail electric supplier
or other electric utility that elects the billing option. The
tariff filed pursuant to this subsection (d) may also include
other just and reasonable terms and conditions and shall
provide for the recovery of prudently incurred costs
associated with the provision of service pursuant to this
subsection (d). The costs associated with the provision of
service pursuant to this Section shall be subject to periodic
Commission review.
(e) An electric utility with more than 100,000 customers
in this State shall file a tariff pursuant to Article IX of

10400HB4313ham001 - 7 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
this Act that provides alternative retail electric suppliers,
and electric utilities other than the electric utility in
whose service area the retail customers are located, with the
option to have the electric utility purchase 2 billing cycles
worth of uncollectible receivables for power and energy
service provided to residential retail customers and to
non-residential retail customers with a non-coincident peak
demand of less than 400 kilowatts upon returning that customer
to that electric utility for delivery and energy service after
that alternative retail electric supplier, or an electric
utility other than the electric utility in whose service area
the retail customer is located, has made reasonable collection
efforts on that account. Uncollectible receivables for power
and energy service of alternative retail electric suppliers,
or electric utilities other than the electric utility in whose
service area the retail customers are located, shall be
purchased by the electric utility at a just and reasonable
discount rate to be reviewed and approved by the Commission,
after notice and hearing. The discount rate shall be based on
the electric utility's historical bad debt for receivables
that are outstanding for a similar length of time and any
reasonable start-up costs and administrative costs associated
with the electric utility's purchase of receivables. The
discounted rate for purchase of uncollectible receivables
shall be included in the tariff filed pursuant to this
subsection (e). The electric utility retains the right to

10400HB4313ham001 - 8 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
impose the same terms on these retail customers with respect
to credit and collection, including requests for deposits, and
retains the right to disconnect these retail customers, if it
does not receive payment for its tariffed services or
purchased receivables, in the same manner that it would be
permitted to if the retail customers had purchased power and
energy from the electric utility. The tariff filed pursuant to
this subsection (e) shall permit the electric utility to
recover from retail customers any uncollectable receivables
that may arise as a result of the purchase of uncollectible
receivables under this subsection (e), may also include other
just and reasonable terms and conditions, and shall provide
for the prudently incurred costs associated with the provision
of this service pursuant to this subsection (e). Nothing in
this subsection (e) permits the double recovery of utility bad
debt expenses from customers. The electric utility may file a
joint tariff for this subsection (e) and subsection (c) of
this Section.
(f) Every alternative retail electric supplier or electric
utility other than the electric utility in whose service area
retail customers are located that issues single bills to the
retail customers for the services provided by the alternative
retail electric supplier or other electric utility to the
customers shall include on the single bills issued to
residential customers the current utility electric supply
price to compare that would apply to the customer for the

10400HB4313ham001 - 9 - LRB104 17063 AAS 35095 a
billing period if the customer obtained supply from the
utility, including the difference between the supply price of
the utility and the supply price of the alternative retail
electric supplier or other electric utility and whether that
difference would result in savings or costs for the customer.
The current utility electric supply price shall be the sum of
the electric supply charge and the transmission services
charge and shall disclose that the price does not include the
monthly purchased electricity adjustment.
(g) Every electric utility that provides delivery and
supply services shall include on each bill issued to
residential customers who obtain supply from an alternative
retail electric supplier the current utility electric supply
price to compare that would apply to the customer for the
billing period if the customer obtained supply from the
utility, including the difference between the supply price of
the utility and the supply price of the alternative retail
electric supplier and whether that difference would result in
savings or costs for the customer. The current utility
electric supply price to compare shall be the sum of the
electric supply charge and the transmission services charge
and shall disclose that the price does not include the monthly
purchased electricity adjustment.
