As Illinois accelerates toward a clean energy future, ironworkers are doing more than just supporting the transition—they’re making it possible with safe, skilled, and reliable rigging and equipment setting on some of the state’s most critical energy storage projects.

Thanks to bold investments by Governor Pritzker and the Illinois General Assembly, energy storage—especially battery systems—has become a centerpiece of the state’s green infrastructure. Behind the scenes, union ironworkers are the ones rigging and setting massive battery units and essential equipment with unmatched precision. These are not just construction tasks—they’re mission-critical operations that demand expertise, coordination, and an unwavering commitment to safety.

From anchoring battery enclosures to securing large-scale energy storage units in place, ironworkers are central to ensuring these projects meet performance and safety standards. Their contribution is foundational to the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which is reshaping how Illinois stores and delivers clean power.

Including highly trained union labor on these complex jobs not only protects workers and communities—it guarantees the success of each installation. When you see a battery system supporting solar or wind energy in Illinois, know that ironworkers had a hand in setting it safely, skillfully, and reliably.

In every bolt tightened and every rig lifted, ironworkers are powering a greener tomorrow.
