Illinois Shines features annual blocks of capacity that remain open until block capacity is exhausted for the Program Year, and unused or uncontracted capacity is redistributed after the close of a Program Year.
As previously announced, the Program paused from May 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CPT through June 1, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. CPT, to undertake data and reporting updates to reallocate all unused Program capacity, that resulted in a total of 308.01 MW.
On May 28, 2026, the Program published the results of the reallocation, including outlining the steps the Agency took to reallocate remaining capacity from the 2025-26 Program Year for use in the 2026-27 Program Year, and today published a detailed memo on the process.
