Champion Energy Service

Dear Champion Energy,
2014 was a very busy year in my life as I had several family members in the hospital.
I finally sat down and looked at my utilities expenses for the year and noticed that electricity was dramatically higher than 2013.
When I looked to see why — it was because my fixed contract had expired in Feb. 2014.
I understand that then I move to a variable contract and pricing can go up. That is reasonable, I was not paying attention to that detail.
What is completely unreasonable is the price you raised it to.
It went from 6.4 to 8.9 in a matter of months.
Here is the Comed price in Chicago for 2014
Jan-​14 5.523
Feb-​14 5.523
Mar-​14 5.523
Apr-​14 5.523
May-​14 5.523
Jun-​14 7.596
Jul-​14 7.596
Aug-​14 7.596
Sep-​14 7.665
Oct-​14 7.487
Nov-​14 7.43
Dec-​14 7.43
So each month of 2014, Champion charged me between 1.5 cents and 3 cents above the market price. That resulted in an extra $ 500 or so in charges above market rate.
I find that practice to be greedy and shameful. A 61% premium over market rate is abusive and should anger every customer of yours that has the misfortune of not watching their bill every month. You should definitely be able to make a profit, but 61% is beyond acceptable.
