(20 ILCS 687/6-2)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2025)
Sec. 6-2.
Findings and intent.
The General Assembly
finds and declares that it is desirable to obtain the
environmental quality, public health, and fuel diversity
benefits of developing new renewable energy resources and
clean coal technologies for use in Illinois and to lower the
cost of renewable energy resources and clean coal resources
provided to utility consumers. The General Assembly finds and
declares that the benefits of electricity from renewable
energy resources and clean coal technologies accrue to the
public at large, thus consumers and electric utilities and
alternative retail electric suppliers share an interest in
developing and using a significant level of these
environmentally preferable resources in the State's
electricity supply portfolio. The General Assembly finds and
declares that encouraging energy efficiency will improve the
environmental quality and public health in the State of
Illinois.
