Welcome to the IPA Clean Energy Dashboard

Illinois has a diverse electricity generation mix, which serves to enhance energy reliability. Explore the Electricity Generation visualizations to trace the state’s evolution in electricity generation – and to see how the state’s electricity generation mix compares to its Midwest counterparts. The visualizations offer visitors a detailed look into Illinois’ transition from traditional to renewable energy.

Illinois ranks second in the Midwest for installed renewable power capacity and fifth nationwide for installed wind power capacity. Explore the Midwest Solar and Wind Capacity visualizations to view a detailed map of installed wind and solar power capacities, which shows comparisons between Midwest states.

Illinois has made significant strides in transitioning to renewable energy, largely due to a strong Renewable Portfolio Standard. Additionally, comprehensive state policies like the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA), which took effect in 2017, and the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which took effect in 2021, have significantly ramped up renewable energy development in the state, while prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion at the forefront of the clean energy economy. Explore the IPA Initiatives visualization to gain insights on the renewable energy development within the Illinois RPS.

With valuable incentives, robust consumer protections, and an emphasis on equity, Illinois Shines (statutorily defined as the Adjustable Block Program) helps ensure everyone in Illinois can play a role in its clean energy future. Explore the Illinois Shines visualizations to see solar projects that are under development and energized (or operational) and learn how the program is driving statewide adoption of solar energy, positioning Illinois as a leader in the regional clean energy transition.

Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) brings the benefits of solar energy to income-eligible households, nonprofit organizations, and public facilities. ILSFA ensures that every resident and community in Illinois can access clean and affordable energy. Explore the ILSFA visualizations to view solar projects that are energized and under development in Environmental Justice and Income-Eligible communities. The visualizations also showcase Energy Sovereignty projects that promote energy ownership.

As part of administering the Illinois RPS, the IPA conducts competitive procurements for Renewable Energy Credits from new utility-scale wind, utility-scale solar, and brownfield site photovoltaic projects. Explore the Competitive Procurements visualizations to gain insights on energized and under development utility-scale wind, utility-scale solar, and brownfield site photovoltaic projects supported by the IPA.
