AI Summary
The Illinois Commerce Commission has authorized a study to determine the most affordable path for the state to meet its building decarbonization targets. The study will examine how Illinois can transition to 100 percent clean energy by 2050, as required by the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA). CEJA sets the statewide clean‑energy goal but offers limited guidance on reducing emissions from non‑electric sources, such as the 17 percent of emissions that come from burning gas to heat homes and other buildings. The report is expected to provide critical insights, though it has fundamental flaws.
