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.

Another reason for the POWER Act: Newly disclosed records reveal that fees data centers paid to ComEd are billions of dollars short of the total price tag expected to connect them to the electric grid. We need consumer protections! Read CUB's news release: https://t.co/VnChvLTMvg

Thank you to Alderwoman Hadden, State Senator Guzman, and all of the 38 elected officials who spoke out against the latest Peoples Gas rate hike at last week's press conference. Regulators must rein in this company and slash its unreasonable rate hike.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Proud to serve as Co-Chair of America Is All In at #ClimateWeekNYC.

Illinois understands that affordability, reliability, and clean energy go hand in hand.

Unlike the President, this coalition of governors, mayors, and more knows we must act now to address climate change.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority is a game-changer.

An effective transit system that has expanded service and safety measures while bringing more riders than ever on board, thanks to a new region-wide, low-income reduced-fare program.

[Rep. Ann Williams @RepAnnWilliams]

Thank you to everyone who joined me, @RepKellyCassidy and @ILCleanJobs at last night’s Data Center Town Hall.

We are more energized than ever to fight for our communities on this incredibly important issue and pass the POWER Act, making Illinois a national leader in data center regulation.

“Since adoption of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, Illinois has been a national leader in addressing carbon emissions, particularly from the energy and transportation sectors.” #CEJAworks https://t.co/UGJP65VQr7

CEJA was signed into law five years ago today! Since then, solar energy has skyrocketed, 3,220+ Illinoisans completed CEJA’s pre-apprenticeship programs, 14 workforce training hubs opened, and $120+ million has been invested in communities impacted by coal closures. #CEJAworks

[CUB Illinois @cubillinois]

The Lake County Board unanimously approved a temporary data center moratorium today! This highlights the need to pass the POWER Act and enact the strongest statewide regulations in the nation.

"There is no catch. It’s just an opportunity,” Hill said. ​“Having a well-established name [with the Obama Presidential Center] will hopefully help people understand that community solar is a real program that will provide savings." https://t.co/Jwe4Nhr6kc
