As a deregulated energy state, businesses have a variety of choices in energy supply to evaluate costs. Our multi-year integrated grid plan outlines planned investments to modernize the grid for the future, providing even better reliability and resiliency.

In 2021, Illinois passed clean energy legislation—the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) —committing Illinois to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. We aim to make it easy for customers to connect to distributed energy resources such as solar, wind and battery storage. We promote the long-term growth of renewable energy, demand response and energy efficiency.

Plus, Illinois’ clean energy policies have created an unparalleled pool of renewable financial incentives to aid businesses in building their own energy resources, controlling costs and meeting sustainability goals.
