Introduced Text

Illinois HB4798 establishes greenhouse gas emission limits for electric generating units and large greenhouse gas-emitting units.

Illinois HB4798 amends the Environmental Protection Act to set emission limits for electric generating units and large greenhouse gas-emitting units. It mandates that certain units reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve zero emissions by 2040. Units using coal or oil must reduce emissions to zero by 2030, while those using gas must do so by 2045. The bill also requires the Environmental Protection Agency, Illinois Power Agency, and Illinois Commerce Commission to develop a plan to address resource adequacy and reliability concerns.
