What is Renewable Energy?

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources like wind and sunshine, things we have an abundance of here in the Midwest. These resources are constantly replenished and will never run out. By developing clean, homegrown energy in Illinois, we can power our communities, strengthen the grid, and create long-term economic growth across the region.

Solar power captures sunlight and transforms it into electricity, boosting local economies, providing landowners with new income opportunities, and protecting Illinois' energy independence.

Wind energy harnesses the natural movement of air to generate affordable electricity, making it one of the most cost effective and fast-growing energy sources to lower consumers energy bills.

Battery energy storage strengthens grid reliability by storing extra electricity and delivering it when demand is high. This helps to prevent outages and keeps energy costs stable.
