(The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers unveiled their “new and improved” version of an expansive green energy overhaul but Illinois’ largest electrical utility is no longer on board.
On paper, the latest version of the Clean Energy Jobs Act, coming in at 906 pages, contains minimal changes.
Both the 2019 version and the bill filed Tuesday have a goal of the state being powered completely by renewable energy by 2050.
The new bill mimics the former version by creating an alternative wholesale energy market that’s regulated by the state, something that Exelon asked for due to federal penalties on subsidized energy.
