Illinois 100% clean energy bill
Illinois legislators have proposed 100% renewable energy by 2050. Currently, the goal is 25% by 2025. The scope is ambitious. The savings would be enormous. Today, Illinois generates some 6% of its electricity from renewable energy. The majority is generated from coal, nuclear and natural gas. Illinois is leading the Midwest in low energy costs and employment from renewable energy. This bill will continue and strengthen that lead.

So 4 years after the first Polar Vortex…How was the 2019 version?
Last week on January 30th, 2019 Chicago matched a record as the coldest day ever.
Power and gas supplies increased but not as severely as in 2014.
Here is why:
- Businesses and schools closed in anticipation of travel delays. This kept power needs down.
- Generators provided the power expected. This was not the case back in 2014. Changes made to generator contracts provided substantial penalties if power wasn’t delivered. Investments in cold weather operations and many of the power plants certainly prevented power shortages.
- Solar and wind kept operating. This was the first polar vortex with substantial solar and wind resources. They performed very well.
Overall, the markets reacted to past incidents and put into place corrections to continue to improve and safeguard the power grid.
