North Shore Energy Alternatives for Commercial Businesses

For businesses across Northern Illinois, managing operational costs and ensuring energy reliability are crucial. The region faces significant fluctuations in utility expenses, with some local utility customers experiencing substantial increases in their monthly bills. This financial pressure highlights a critical need for businesses to re-evaluate their energy procurement strategies.

Nordic Energy stands as a leading Alternative Retail Electric Supplier (ARES) and Alternative Gas Supplier (AGS), empowering commercial properties throughout the Northern IL area. We deliver tailored energy solutions designed to help businesses gain greater control over their energy future, reduce expenses, and optimize energy use. It's important to clarify that Nordic Energy provides an alternative to the local utility, North Shore Gas, which serves over 165,000 customers in Chicago's northern suburbs. Nordic Energy is distinct from a similarly named investment and syndication firm that does not provide utility services in Northern IL. This distinction ensures clarity for businesses seeking a reliable energy partner.

Why Northshore Businesses Are Choosing Nordic Energy

Cost-Effective Gas & Electric Alternatives for Your Business

Illinois' deregulated energy market offers businesses the freedom to choose their energy supplier, fostering competition that drives down prices. Companies like Nordic Energy can provide some of the lowest market rates available.

A significant benefit for commercial operations is the ability to predict and manage expenses. While local utilities, including North Shore Gas, typically operate on variable rates that can fluctuate unpredictably month-to-month, Nordic Energy offers fixed-rate contracts. These agreements shield businesses from market volatility, providing the budget predictability essential for sound financial planning and mitigating financial uncertainty.

Unmatched Flexibility & Control Over Your Energy Solutions

Nordic Energy empowers businesses to move beyond the often-inflexible approach of traditional utilities. As an independent supplier, Nordic Energy benefits from access to multiple energy sources. This diverse sourcing capability allows us to negotiate more favorable terms and select the most advantageous deals, directly translating into more competitive offerings and greater flexibility for our commercial customers. This strategic advantage also enhances supply chain resilience, providing a more stable and reliable energy flow.

Nordic Energy provides diverse Northshore commercial energy plans, including both Fixed Rate and Variable Rate options, enabling businesses to select a plan that precisely aligns with their unique consumption patterns and financial goals. This level of customization is a hallmark of the deregulated market, offering genuine commercial energy solutions Northshore businesses can leverage.

Here's how Nordic Energy compares to traditional utilities:

  • Pricing Model: Nordic Energy offers Fixed & Variable Options, while traditional utilities primarily use Variable Rates.
  • Price Stability: Nordic Energy provides Fixed Rates for Budget Predictability, whereas traditional utility prices fluctuate with the market.
  • Supplier Choice: With Nordic Energy, you choose your supplier in the deregulated market.
  • Customer Service: Nordic Energy offers Responsive and Dedicated Support
  • Added Benefits: Commercial customers receive a $250 gift card and residential customers get 100 reward points monthly with the Nordic Energy Rewards Program, while traditional utilities offer limited or no added benefits.
  • Sustainability: Nordic Energy offers Carbon Offsetting (NordiGreen) and Green Plans, in addition to utility programs.

Dedicated Commercial Support & Exclusive Benefits

Nordic Energy prides itself on responsive and personable customer service, ensuring businesses receive quick solutions and real-time quotes. This commitment to efficiency and accessibility stands in contrast to the often impersonal experience with large utility providers.

As a valued commercial customer, businesses automatically benefit from an exclusive offer: a $250 gift card.

Meanwhile, residential customers benefit from the exclusive Nordic Energy Rewards Program, which awards 100 Reward Points every month. These points never expire and accumulate over time. Reward Points can be redeemed for significant savings at a wide variety of businesses, including local restaurants, online shops, entertainment venues, and travel specials. This unique perk directly contributes to a customer's bottom line, offering tangible value beyond the energy supply and fostering a long-term partnership.

For industrial and commercial enterprises, Nordic Energy provides additional expertise, including strategies to reduce operational costs, manage risk, and meet specific energy needs. This holistic approach helps businesses thrive in a dynamic energy market.

Your Seamless Switch to Nordic Energy

Effortless Transition, Uninterrupted Service

Making the switch to Nordic Energy is designed to be quick and easy, ensuring absolutely no disruption to energy service. Businesses will continue to receive energy through their existing infrastructure – no expensive upgrades or renovations are necessary. The local utility company, such as North Shore Gas, remains responsible for the maintenance and safe, reliable delivery of energy. This clear delineation of roles directly addresses concerns about operational downtime or complex technical changes, making the transition a low-risk decision.

Understanding Your Energy Bill

To provide clarity, it is important to understand how billing works after switching. Commercial accounts may receive two bills: one from Nordic Energy for the energy supply, and one from the utility for the delivery of energy. Some utilities combine both portions into one bill. For any questions regarding energy supply (rates, plans, etc.), customers contact Nordic Energy directly. For issues related to the physical delivery of energy, such as outages or line damage, customers continue to contact their local utility. This proactive explanation of billing and contact protocols aims to prevent future confusion and enhance customer satisfaction.

Beyond Savings: Efficiency & Sustainability for Your Business

Optimizing Energy Use & Reducing Your Footprint

The company provides valuable energy-saving tips covering crucial areas such as HVAC maintenance, lighting upgrades, equipment management, and water heating efficiency.

Beyond efficiency, Nordic Energy is dedicated to reducing its environmental footprint. A cornerstone of this commitment is
