IPA Seeks Feedback on Storage for All Program
| The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act charges the IPA with evaluating and potentially developing and implementing a Storage for All program, which would provide incentives to encourage development of energy storage projects co-located with solar projects developed under the IPA’s already well-established Illinois Solar for All program.
