As background, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) initiated the Solution Sourcing Opportunities (SSO) workshops in response to a statutory requirement that it develop rules determining data or methods for the solution sourcing opportunities that large electric utilities must include in their multi-year integrated grid plans (MYIGPs).
Section 16-105.17(f)(2)(K) of the Illinois Public Utilities Act requires each large electric utility to include in its multi-year integrated grid plan the following information:
Specifically, the utilities are to identify potential cost-effective solutions from nontraditional and third-party owned investments that could meet anticipated grid needs, including distributed energy resources (DER) procurements, tariffs or contracts, programmatic solutions, rate design options, technologies or programs that facilitate load flexibility, non-wired alternatives (NWAs), and other solutions to meet the MYIGP objectives.
Slides from the May 26, 2026 Cost recovery and ownership workshop are now available.
Feedback on the May 26th workshop were due May 9th but no postings were available as of this posting.
