The Illinois Power Agency invites interested parties to submit written comments on Illinois Solar for All Third-Party Program Evaluation. Written comments will be accepted by email at comments@illinoissfa.com through 12:00 PM CST on February 5, 2019. A session was held on January 29, 2019.

This Third Party Evaluation feedback session was held in compliance with the Illinois Power Agency Act, which directs that, “At least every 2 years, the Agency shall select an independent evaluator to review and report on the Illinois Solar for All Program and the performance of the third-party program administrator of the Illinois Solar for All Program. The evaluation shall be based on objective criteria developed through a public stakeholder process. The process shall include feedback and participation from Illinois Solar for All Program stakeholders, including participants and organizations in environmental justice and historically underserved communities.”

The session reviewed the explicitly required evaluation. The session and this commenting period established criteria and provides an opportunity for the Illinois Power Agency to work with stakeholders to develop the remaining scope and establish the process for the evaluation. Following the incorporation of stakeholder feedback, the IPA will release a Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals to select an independent evaluator.
