Resource Adequacy Study

Section 9.15(o) of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Act directs the IEPA, the Illinois Power Agency (IPA), and the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to “jointly prepare, and release publicly, a report to the General Assembly” that examines the State’s progress toward its renewable energy resource development goals, the status of CO₂e and co-pollutant emissions reductions, the current status and progress toward developing and implementing green hydrogen technologies, the current and projected status of electric resource adequacy and reliability throughout the State for the period 5 years ahead, and provide proposed solutions predicated upon any findings (the “Resource Adequacy Study”).

In support of the Resource Adequacy Study development process, this web page will provide stakeholder announcements, workshop and other materials, future drafts and final reports, and related information. The Agency encourages stakeholders to check here regularly to access posted materials, confirm details about scheduled events, and identify future activities or events in which they may be interested in participating.
