HB 2787

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Power Agency Act. In provisions concerning aggregation of electrical load by municipalities, townships, and counties, provides that the report to assess how the aggregation of electrical load by municipalities, townships, and counties can be used to help meet the renewable energy goals outlined in the Act shall contain, at a minimum, an assessment of other states' utilization of load aggregation in meeting renewable energy goals, any known or expected barriers to (rather than in) utilizing load aggregation for meeting renewable energy goals, and recommendations for possible changes in State law necessary for electrical load aggregation to be a driver of new renewable energy project development. Provides that the annual report by the Illinois Power Agency shall include the number (rather than amount) of megawatt hours produced by renewable energy generation capacity physically located in Illinois for the preceding delivery year. Makes another change in the Illinois Procurement Code.
