Muni and Co-Op IRP Support

Pursuant to the Clean Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA), the Illinois Power Agency (IPA) has a new responsibility to support the collection of information from prospective consulting firms in support of integrated resource planning efforts to be undertaken by municipal electric utilities and rural electric cooperatives in Illinois. The IPA’s role, as defined through CRGA, is purely supportive and administrative in nature.

 

Specifically, the IPA will:

  • Develop and issue a Request for Information (RFI) for experts who can assist municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives with integrated resource planning.
  • Prequalify experts capable of supporting those planning processes.
  • Maintain and publish a list of prequalified experts.
  • Provide a public repository of completed municipal and cooperative integrated resource plans to promote transparency and accessibility.

 

The IPA does not direct, control, or conduct the planning processes for municipal utilities or rural electric cooperatives. Additionally, the IPA does not fund those planning efforts.

 

Updates & Information

This page will serve as a central location for updates, RFI postings, and related materials. Information regarding RFIs, qualified experts, and submitted plans will be posted to this page as it becomes available. Stakeholders are encouraged to return to this page periodically for updates regarding this implementation under CRGA.
