The Illinois Power Agency (the “Agency”) filed the 2026 Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan (2026 Long-Term Plan) with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) on Monday, October 20, 2025. The 2026 Long-Term Plan details the goals and strategies for the IPA’s renewable energy programs and procurements, including program capacity and renewable energy credit pricing for the Illinois Shines and Illinois Solar for All programs over the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 program years.
Stakeholders should keep in mind that the filed 2026 Long-Term Plan is not finalized upon filing, and anything contained within the 2026 Long-Term Plan should be considered preliminary. The IPA expects a final order from the ICC regarding any contested issues in the 2026 Long-Term Plan no later than Friday, February 20, 2026, which will contain the final determination on any contested issues. Then, the Agency will publish a final 2026 Long-Term Plan in compliance with that final order, marking the conclusion of this process.
