In Peoria, residents are expected to save big on their electricity bills starting June 2012. With the consulting help of Good Energy, Peoria voted to shop its residential and small business electricity load as a group. As a result, many Peoria residents, who were formerly supplied by Ameren, will switch to Homefield Energy and will see deep cuts in their energy bill. Residents will save as much as $225 and $250 annually, and over the course of the two-year contract, Peoria residents as a whole will save upwards of $9 million on energy supply costs. Ameren will continue to handle distribution and to issue all electric bills to all households throughout Peoria.
