Establishes the Electric Transmission Facilities Siting Act, prioritizing corridors for new transmission lines and setting emissions reduction.
The Electric Transmission Facilities Siting Act prioritizes the use of existing public utility corridors, highway corridors, and new corridors for siting new electric transmission facilities. It mandates that large greenhouse gas-emitting units reduce their CO2 emissions by 50% by January 1, 2035, and achieve zero emissions by January 1, 2045. The act also requires the Illinois Commerce Commission to investigate and establish compensation for distributed energy resources, including rebates for distributed generation and energy storage systems.
