Applications are being accepted for nearly $4 million in rebates and grants for projects that increase the use of innovative energy technologies in Illinois.
Administered by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, applicants must be a customer of an investor-owned gas or electric utility; a municipal gas or electric utility; or an electric cooperative that is assessed by the Renewable Energy Resources Trust fund. Funding may be awarded to solar and wind energy projects, dedicated crops grown for energy production, organic waste biomass, and hydropower that does not involve new construction or significant expansion of hydropower dams.
Rebates up to $5,000 are available for solar thermal energy and photovoltaic
systems. Cost-sharing grants are available to eligible applicants for larger
projects in accordance with program guidelines. Applications will be
accepted on an ongoing basis.
