HB3609 establishes a pilot program for thermal energy networks in Illinois, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings.
HB3609, known as the Thermal Energy Network and Jobs Act, aims to facilitate the development of pilot thermal energy networks in Illinois. These networks involve the distribution of thermal energy via piped noncombustible fluids to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. The Illinois Commerce Commission is tasked with initiating a proceeding to support the development of these pilot projects. Gas, electric, and combination public utilities serving over 100,000 customers must file petitions for Commission approval of pilot thermal energy network projects.
