The Illinois Administrative Code, section 83-410: STANDARDS OF
SERVICE FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES & ALTERNATIVE RETAIL ELECTRIC SUPPLIERS
governs these standards, and, if satisfaction is not forthcoming
from the power company, one could bring it to the attention of
the Secretary of State, which oversees the code. Contact page:

Another Illinois power company, MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY,
