Illinois HB3120 amends the Environmental Protection Act to set emission reduction targets for large greenhouse gas-emitting units.

Illinois HB3120 amends the Environmental Protection Act to establish emission reduction targets for large greenhouse gas-emitting units (EGU). The bill mandates that EGUs reduce carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by 50% from existing levels by January 1, 2035, and further reduce emissions to zero by January 1, 2045. The Illinois Commerce Commission can grant waivers for these limitations if compliance would threaten electricity reliability or cause economic hardship.
