Illinois’ Clean Energy Boom Has Been Waitlisted – Jobs Are At Risk

4,000 Illinois homeowners and businesses tried to go solar this year – instead, they got waitlisted. A map of the waitlisted projects in each legislative district is here.

Illinois approved more than 25,000 new wind and solar projects in a few years before the state’s program went over the funding cliff in 2020.

Now thousands of Illinois residents and businesses are lined up to invest in renewable energy, but our state policy has put everything on hold.

The Illinois Power Agency ran out of funding to approve new renewable energy projects in December. With state incentives in limbo, many solar businesses across the state haven’t sold a new system all year. That puts thousands of jobs at risk unless we pass legislation to fix this.

Customers are ready to invest, solar installers are desperate to get to work and our clean energy goals are slipping further out of reach. The General Assembly needs to act before it’s too late. Take action at www.pathto100.net
