Illinois Is Facing A Clean Energy Cliff

Thousands of Illinoisans working in wind and solar energy are facing a critical deadline that needs a legislative fix.

Statewide demand for renewable energy is surging, with more than 1,300 new wind and solar jobs added last year in Illinois. But the state’s renewable energy program will not be able to support new wind and solar projects after 2020. SB 1781 / HB 2966 will fix the cliff.

Without an expansion of the Renewable Portfolio Standard, wind and solar businesses will be forced to lay off employees and move on to states with more stable markets. SB 1781 / HB 2966, the Path to 100 Act sponsored by Rep. Will Davis and Sen. Bill Cunningham, will allow wind and solar jobs to continue growing in Illinois.

Vote Yes on SB 1781 (Cunningham) and HB 2966 (Davis)
