Fight utility rate hikes, promote clean energy, and advocate for consumer protections in Illinois.

From Springfield to Washington, CUB fights for lower utility bills, cleaner energy and consumer protections. Join the fight: CUB's Action Center lets you sign petitions and send messages to your representatives!

Need help navigating your gas and electric bills? CUB's updated Gas and Electric guide provides an in-depth overview of gas and electric utilities in Illinois— the result of years of research and writing by CUB experts on state regulations and utility tariffs.

WARNING: Thanks to a number of factors, including soaring energy demand due to data centers, electricity prices are elevated. CUB's Help Center has information and tips on how to get through this price spike.
