Breaking Down Barriers: Municipal Regulation in Community Solar and Storage

Jun 17 2026

9:15 AM - 10:00 AM CT

Room 42

Community solar and storage development in Illinois comes with a distinct set of regulatory hurdles from municipalities, which this panel will explore head-on. Discussions will include voluntary and involuntary annexations, extra-territorial jurisdiction, subdivision authority, planning jurisdiction in the wake of Equity Solar v. Grundy County, and solar development rights under the CEJA Solar Bill of Rights. Panelists will share experiences and explore strategies for overcoming municipal issues.
