Since the bill's passage, state departments, utilities and industry groups have been working to implement the dense, 900-page law. While some sectors like solar and transportation have taken off, a lot of work remains before the state will realize its lofty goals of reaching 40% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% clean energy by 2050.
For Jon Carson, founder of solar developer Trajectory Energy Partners, the impact of the state's massive climate bill -- the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act or CEJA -- has been stark and immediate. Trajectory Energy Partners, based in Highland Park, works on community solar as well as large, utility-scale projects.
Both residential rooftop projects and large-scale solar projects like the ones Carson works on have been fueled by incentives and grant programs that came out of CEJA. John Delurey, the Midwest deputy programs director for nonprofit advocacy group Vote Solar, said CEJA set up annual allocations so the industry wouldn't hit a wall like it did when funding dried up in 2021.
The current number of solar projects by ZIP code can be found at ILSolarMap.com. The website is a collaboration between advocacy group Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition and civic technology volunteer group Chi Hack Night. "Customers are installing more and more solar between rooftop solar and community solar. The grid needs to function differently than the way it was designed, meaning we're going to need to make upgrades on the grid to enable the seamless integration of this new type of technology," Michelle Blaise, ComEd Senior Vice President of Technical Services, said in January following the announcement of the rate increase.
Hanessian said the federal law has served as a springboard for energy work by providing additional funding such as the upcoming Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program, which will allocate $27 billion for clean energy and air investments starting this summer.
