Illinois hit a grim milestone at the end of last year. Residential consumers have now lost more than $1 billion to alternative electric suppliers since 2015. More than 1.6 million consumers are signed up with alternative suppliers and are likely paying too much for their supply.

In this episode of Power Source, Matt Harvey joins host Hannah Finnerty for a discussion of alternative suppliers. Matt is a program coordinator for CUB’s outreach department and has over 6 years of experience identifying alternative supplier ripoffs at utility bill clinics and helping consumers navigate the market.
