The Illinois Commerce Commission has approved the Illinois Power Agency's 2026 Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan, which outlines renewable energy procurement strategies for 2026-2028. The plan focuses on utility scale and community solar, wind, and hydropower projects, aiming to address the state's energy needs while protecting consumers.

It includes procurement of Renewable Energy Credits for major utility companies and updates in response to funding challenges and regulatory changes. The ICC reviews this plan biennially, with the next update due June 1, 2026.
