SB4028

Illinois SB4028 amends utility-interconnection rules for distributed generation facilities.

Illinois SB4028 amends the Public Utilities Act to revise rules for distributed generation facilities with capacities between 40 kilowatts and 2 megawatts. The Illinois Commerce Commission must initiate a rulemaking to address barriers to interconnections for such facilities, including solar photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage. The revisions must include capping interconnection study costs, permitting self-supplied studies, enhancing transparency, and updating definitions. The bill also mandates that the Commission coordinate these revisions with a Future of Gas proceeding.
