Across the country, consumers, our power grid, and our climate are facing unprecedented threats. Our outdated power grid is increasingly at risk from the impacts of climate change and intensifying extreme weather events, and these challenges are exacerbated by the Trump administration’s attacks on clean energy progress. The result: volatile energy markets that increase costs for consumers and threaten reliability.
Clean energy resources like energy efficiency, solar, and battery storage strengthen our power grid, deliver consumers savings, and grow Illinois’ clean energy economy. The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB2473/HB3779) prioritizes commonsense solutions that protect consumers from price volatility, bolster our grid with clean energy resources, and hold utilities and large industrial energy users, like data centers, accountable for achieving a clean and affordable electric grid.
Urge your legislators in the Illinois General Assembly to co-sponsor and vote “yes” on the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB2473/HB3779) this spring to protect consumers, our power grid, and our climate.
