With the passage of the Climate and Renewable Generation Act (CRGA), Illinois is entering a new phase of solar and storage market growth. This panel will focus on what the law means in practical terms for developers working in the state.
Panelists will highlight key CRGA provisions impacting project pipelines, including changes to procurement structures, incentives, and program capacity, including new battery and virtual power plant (VPP) incentives. The discussion will cover expected timelines for implementation, interconnection and siting considerations, and how updates may affect project economics and deal flow.
Attendees will also gain insight into workforce and equity requirements that could influence project development, as well as potential risks and bottlenecks during rollout.
This session is designed to help developers understand where the market is heading and how to position projects under the new policy framework.
