From the meeting
The five-year action plan in the draft IRP starts with RFIs for supply-side resources focusing on RECIP procurement, then moves to limited procurement of supply-side resources such as a 1-5 MW RECIP. The worksheet says the City is also seeking procurement readiness, decision triggers, and timelines through the Illinois Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Small Utility Clean Energy Planning Grant application. The draft application requested $200,000 and was under review in April 2026; members also noted 2028 as the earliest feasible deployment year for a RECIP after training, permitting, and procurement lead time.
