BACKGROUND:
On January 21, 2015 the Illinois Commerce Commission issued a Final Order approving the Supplemental Plan of the Illinois Power Agency. The Supplemental Plan was developed pursuant to the newly enacted Section 1-56(i) of the IPA Act, and calls for the procurement of renewable energy credits generated by new distributed generation photovoltaic systems in Illinois under five-year contracts. The first procurement event is scheduled for June 18, 2015 and has a budget of $5 million. Subsequent events with increasing budgets are scheduled for November 2015 ($10 million) and March 2016 ($15 million).
To review the full Supplemental Plan see: https://www.icc.illinois.gov/downloads/public/edocket/398633.pdf
Information related to the June procurement event can be found on the Procurement website: http://ipa-energyrfp.com/supplemental-pv-procurement-section/. That information includes a draft contract which was released for comment on March 19th. Written comments on the draft contact are due on April 3rd. A second draft of the contract will be released on April 21st, and comments will be due on May 1st.
