If lawmakers don’t pass energy storage legislation this month, Illinois families will pay the price. It’s a guarantee that your electricity bill will keep climbing—year after year—because the state hasn’t built enough energy supply. Every delay means higher costs, more strain on households, and lost jobs as projects cancel and go to other states, while federal cuts take their toll.
The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act gives Illinois the tools to fix this crisis—building new clean energy and battery storage to meet demand and lower costs. It’s a proven path to stable, affordable power and local economic growth. Batteries saved Texans a whopping $750 million on bills last year—by storing electricity when it’s cheap and delivering it when costs are high. Lawmakers can protect against future price spikes by passing the bill now. Waiting even one more year means choosing higher bills for every Illinoisan.
Lawmakers have just 3 days this month to pass legislation. If they don’t, high electricity bills are locked in for years to come. They need to hear from you.
