SPRINGFIELD, IL – Today, Illinois leaders took action to protect consumers and strengthen the state’s power grid with the passage of the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability (CRGA) Act (SB25).
“Illinois passed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act at a crucial moment, as energy costs and electricity demand increase rapidly across the country. The CRGA Act delivers a timely response to this challenge, taking major steps toward expanding battery storage, speeding up clean energy connections, and making smart demand-side investments like virtual power plants to reduce peak energy use and system-wide costs.
We congratulate the legislature and our partners in the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition for passing this important legislation and advancing Illinois’ clean energy future.”
