The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) approved the Illinois Power Agency's (IPA) 2026 Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan (LTRRPP), which will guide renewable energy procurement in Illinois from 2026 to 2028. The plan emphasizes investment in utility-scale and community solar, wind, and hydropower projects.

It includes procurement of Renewable Energy Credits for Ameren Illinois, Commonwealth Edison Company, and MidAmerican Energy Company, addressing near-term funding challenges and federal uncertainties. The ICC must review the plan every two years, with the next update due by June 1, 2026.
