Reminder: Request for Stakeholder Feedback on REC Price Cost Inputs Due Today
On October 31, 2024, the Illinois Power Agency (“IPA”) released a Request for Stakeholder Feedback seeking input on the IPA’s planned approach, beginning in 2025, to collect cost data on projects participating in the Illinois Shines and Illinois Solar for All programs. The purpose of collecting Illinois-specific cost data is to improve the modeling used to set Renewable Energy Credit (“REC”) prices for the programs. The request includes a proposal for a two-phase approach to starting cost collection and poses specific questions for which the Agency seeks feedback.
The Agency held a workshop on November 14, 2024, to discuss the proposed approach and answer stakeholder questions, the recording of the workshop and presentation slides are available to review on the Agency’s website.
The last day to submit written responses to this request for feedback is today, November 22, 2024. The Agency and Program Administrators request feedback on all aspects of the proposals, and commenters should not feel limited by the specific questions posed. Please provide comments via email attachment to [email protected] with the subject “[Responder’s Name] – Feedback on REC Price Cost Collection.”

If any of the allocations are not filled within the first 180 days of the Program Year, Public School projects will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis regardless of Tier, Environmental Justice Community (“EJC”) location, or project size. Due to the holiday, 180-day prioritization window will now close on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Thank you!
