About Us

Discover The Difference

Our Basic Business

Nicor Advanced Energy offers energy plans to both residential and small business customers. These plans help customers budget their energy costs -- either through price protection or containment, or through billing options that allow for a more predictable monthly energy cost.

Why We’re in Business

Years ago, consumers were given the opportunity to choose who they purchased their energy from…they no longer had to accept their utility’s energy supply and price. Nicor Advanced Energy is in business to offer consumers energy supply options that traditional utilities likely can’t offer.

Why We’re Different

Solid financial support
We’re backed by our parent company, Nicor, Inc.; a Fortune 500 company that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: GAS). See the box above or click here to find out more about Nicor, Inc.

Plans that fit you
Everyone’s different. Some people want to know what their bill will be because their budgets are tight. Others can pay an unexpectedly high bill, but want to know they are paying a reasonable price. And some people don’t like having to “dial down” to keep their bill low. Nicor Advanced Energy will help you determine which plan may work best for you, your budget, and your comfort.
