Energy News: Local Governments To Miss Out On $222 Million in potential tax revenue
Friday, Apr 19, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.]
On April 10th, the Illinois Power Agency held a lottery to award renewable energy credit contracts to community solar, large commercial and industrial projects. Community Solar is for the 75% of Illinoisans who can’t put solar on their roofs. Demand was exceptionally strong, but due to the limited program size, approximately 90% of permitted community solar projects failed to receive contracts. Now those projects and the $222 million in tax revenue they would have generated for their communities over the next two decades is in jeopardy.
Without a fix to the state’s renewable energy program, remaining projects may not be built. Vote YES on HB 2966/SB 1781 to fix Illinois’ clean energy cliff and let shovel ready projects move forward. For more information, please visit pathto100.net
