Illinois SB3272 amends the Public Utilities Act to require the Illinois Commerce Commission to develop a renewable energy access plan. This plan must identify renewable energy access plan zones, develop a plan to achieve transmission capacity, use the state's position as a transmission hub to create new investment in renewable energy resources, and consider programs and projects that promote cost-effective power delivery. The plan must also evaluate advanced transmission technologies and consider additional mechanisms to capture the potential value of geographically diverse resources.
