Minimum Equity Standards Compliance Plan

Beginning with the fall 2022 Indexed REC Procurement each entity awarded a REC Contract through an Illinois Power Agency’s Indexed REC procurement must comply the Minimum Equity Standard (“MES”).

For entities awarded a contract through the fall 2022 procurement, initial MES Compliance Plans are due June 1, 2023. Going forward, successful bidders in Indexed REC procurements are required to file an MES Compliance Plan within 30 days of ICC approval of their REC Contract.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion page on the Agency’s website provides helpful resources and tips for MES Compliance Plan submissions:  https://ipa.illinois.gov/diversity-equity-and-inclusion.html

Please complete the form below to submit your MES Compliance Plan for review by the IPA. Any supplemental documents to your MES Compliance Plan should be submitted to IPA.EnergyEquity@illinois.gov. Please include "[entity name] MES Compliance Plan Documentation" in the subject line.
