Berg: Lawmaker turned lobbyist turns the tables on taxpayers
Rep. Brandon Phelps resigned from his House seat and two weeks later registered as a lobbyist. He is not the first to help formulate energy policy then leave office and take lobbying work from energy interests.

It’s all about the networking, right?

ComEd community solar tariff approved by Illinois regulator
The ICC approved ComEd’s solar tariff application. A solar customer can subscribe to a minimum and a maximum of the output of a single community solar installation. Various concerns were discussed about the pricing and exclusion of transmission charges. However, the ICC sided with ComEd. There is a possibility for adjustments but it is uncertain how intervenors will move forward. The tariff is another step in furthering the efforts of the Future Energy Jobs Act.
