HB 5801

Abstract

Amends the Environmental Protection Act. In provisions regarding greenhouse gases, provides that by June 30 of each year, beginning in 2023 (rather than 2025), the Environmental Protection Agency shall prepare and publish on its website a report setting forth the actual greenhouse gas emissions from individual units and the aggregate statewide emissions from all units for the prior year. Provides that every 2 years (rather than every 5 years) beginning in 2023 (rather than 2025), the Agency, Illinois Power Agency, and Illinois Commerce Commission shall jointly prepare, and release publicly, a report with specified requirements to the General Assembly. Requires the report to examine the current and projected status of electric resource adequacy and reliability throughout the State for the period beginning 2 years (rather than 5 years) ahead. Effective immediately.
