A historic win for Illinois! @GovPritzker signed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act yesterday, reinforcing our state's clean energy leadership. Hear from Gov. Pritzker, Sarah (@cubillinois), and Kavi (@votesolar) on how this law will save money through clean energy.

Everyone agrees: Our lawmakers must establish guardrails for data centers in Illinois.
See why the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board is calling for stakeholders to convene now so we can pass legislation in the upcoming veto session. bit.ly/4eFovPv

"Pritzker’s proposal today calls for regulators to establish a separate electricity rate category for data centers. Many of the proposals Pritzker made today echo those included in the Power Act, which didn’t get a vote in the General Assembly." bit.ly/3PJqDfJ

Meet Peoria County’s newest “lamb-scaping” crew! 🐑
About 100 sheep moved onto @pivot_energy’s community solar site in Dunlap, IL. The project provides consistent income for the landowner and the local grazing partner, while bringing clean energy savings to the community!

Scoop: Gov. JB Pritzker to suspend tax breaks to data centers after legislature failed to act. Goes into effect July 1.
Also, he's calling for development reforms to be hashed out in the fall's veto session.

"Legislation like the recent Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act will help build more solar, which means more opportunities for farmers to get involved in grazing. Bills like CRGA are lifelines for farmers who might be struggling to evolve." bit.ly/4u3MEnp

"By betting on efficiency, storage, long-term energy planning and the flexibility of the modern grid, CRGA offers a blueprint for how to keep the lights on and bills down." bit.ly/4nS1An6

"State legislators helped make it all possible by passing laws with ambitious clean energy mandates and funding. Over the last three years, IL has funded chargers at over 575 locations, almost a third of which are up and running, according to a state map." bit.ly/43AqSgc
