Below is a table that shows the Program Administrator’s progress in reviewing batches of applications submitted to the Illinois ABP. [wpdatatable id=7]
Notes:
- The portal opened to new applications on December 14, 2021. More information on block reopening can be found on the Reopening Updates page.
- As outlined in the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (Public Act 102-0662) ABP applications up to and including 25 kW are now considered to be in the Small DG category. As a result, waitlisted applications larger than 10 kW and less than or equal to 25kW on the Large DG waitlist (approximately 11 MW in aggregate) were reclassified as Small DG prior to the 12/14/21 portal reopening. At the time of the temporary portal closing on 11/1/21 at 5pm Central, both the Small DG and Large DG waitlists each were less than the 75 MW minimum capacity that the legislation specifies should be allocated to each category.
- Group A is for projects located in the service territories of Ameren Illinois, MidAmerican, Mt. Carmel Public Utility, and rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities located in MISO. Group B is for projects located in the service territories of ComEd, and rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities located in PJM.
- Small DG (Distributed Generation) is up to 25 kilowatts, and Large DG is above 25 up to 5,000 kilowatts.
- All categories are additive and represent a stage in the projects movement through the process. No project is represented in more than one category. For example the ICC Approved section does not include any projects except those approved by the ICC.
Status Description Part I Submitted Project Application completed by the Approved Vendor but not yet submitted as a batch of projects or submitted as a batch but for which payment has not yet been received by the Program Administrator Batch Submitted Project Application completed by the Approved Vendor and submitted as a batch of projects with payment received by the Program Administrator Additional Info Required Project Application which has undergone preliminary review and for which the Program Administrator has requested additional information prior to approving Program Administrator Reviewed Projects reviewed by ABP Administrator ICC Approved Projects Approved by the ICC - Part I Submitted and Batch Submitted data is raw data that has not been reviewed by the Program Administrator. This data is provided as it was submitted and program participants are cautioned that this data may change significantly after it has been reviewed by the Program Administrator.
- For more information regarding Program’s Block Capacity & allocation, please refer to the Program Guidebook.
- The Illinois Adjustable Block Program has published a detailed timeline of how an Application progresses through the program.
Please note that applications that were submitted and subsequently withdrawn from the Program for any reason are no longer reflected in any category in the dashboards above.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text][advanced_iframe src=”https://gp.dev.illinoisshines.com/app/metrics/dashboard_chart_dg” width=”100%” height=”600″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
