SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - The Illinois Commerce Commission is encouraging the public and community organizations to weigh in on the state’s ongoing planning for a safer, more reliable power grid at a set of community workshops this month.
The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act requires Ameren and ComEd, the state’s largest investor-owned electric utilities, file grid plans that accelerate progress toward Illinois’ clean energy goals, outline system investments, and hold the companies accountable for their performance. Both utilities are required by CEJA to conduct a stakeholder process in the design of their grid plan.
Illinois energy customers and other interested parties are encouraged to participate in-person or virtually and learn more about the grid planning process at the times below:
