Aurora is a suburb of Chicago and has a population just shy of 200,000 residents as of the 2010 US Census.

How to Compare Aurora Electricity Rates
Electricity rates are either offered as fixed' or variable'. With variable-rate plans, you will initially be charged the rate you see offered in the Compare & Switch tool, but this rate is subject to go up or down each month, depending on wholesale electricity prices and other factors. With a fixed-rate plan, you'll be charged the rate you see for the entire duration of your contract. The choice is yours.
Contract Lengths
Contract lengths can vary from as little as 3 months to as long as 36 months. Most customers opt for a 6 to 24 month plan.
Energy Source: Renewable v. Traditional Power
If you are interested in powering your home or business with renewable electricity, you'll find that many providers are offering Green Electricity plans that derive electricity from partial or 100% renewable sources such as wind and solar. You'll find that these plans are quite affordable as well, with rates often below what you're currently paying for traditionally-sourced electricity like coal.
Sign-Up Bonuses & Other Incentives
Since retail electricity providers are competing with each other for your business, some offer you other incentives aside from low rates. Sign-on bonuses are quite common, allowing you to save even more for the first month or so with your new provider. Some providers offer membership programs where you can save on energy-related products and services as well as local services that aren't related to energy. Many providers are even offering rewards programs where you can earn cash-back, free electricity, and points towards travel and dining.
