Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(20 ILCS 687/6-6)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2025)
Sec. 6-6. Energy efficiency program.
(a) For the year beginning January 1, 1998, and
thereafter as provided in this Section, each electric utility
as defined in Section 3-105 of the Public Utilities Act and each
alternative retail electric supplier as defined in Section 16-102 of the
Public Utilities Act supplying
electric power and energy to retail customers located in the
State of Illinois shall contribute annually
a pro rata share of
a total amount of $3,000,000 based upon the number of
kilowatt-hours sold by each such entity in the 12 months
preceding the year of contribution. On or before May 1 of each year, the
Illinois Commerce Commission shall
determine and notify the Agency
of the pro rata share
owed by each electric utility and each alternative retail electric supplier
based upon information supplied annually to the Illinois Commerce
Commission. On or before June 1 of each year, the Agency
shall
send written notification to each electric utility and each alternative retail
electric supplier of the amount of pro rata share they owe.
These contributions shall
be remitted to the Department of Revenue on or before June 30 of each
year the contribution is due on a return prescribed and furnished by the
Department of Revenue showing such information as the Department of Revenue may
reasonably require. The funds received pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the
appropriation of funds by the General Assembly. The
Department of Revenue shall place the funds remitted under this Section
in a trust fund, that is hereby created in the State Treasury,
called the Energy Efficiency Trust Fund.
If an electric utility or alternative retail electric supplier does not remit
its
pro rata share to the Department of Revenue, the Department of Revenue
must inform the Illinois Commerce Commission of such failure. The Illinois
Commerce Commission may then revoke the certification of that electric
utility or alternative retail electric supplier. The Illinois Commerce
Commission may not renew the certification of any electric utility or
alternative retail electric supplier that is delinquent in paying its pro
rata
share.
(b) The Agency shall disburse the
moneys in the
Energy Efficiency Trust Fund to benefit residential electric customers
through projects which the Agency has
determined will
promote energy efficiency in the State of Illinois. The
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall establish a list of
projects eligible for
grants from the Energy Efficiency Trust Fund including, but
not limited to, supporting energy efficiency efforts for low-income households,
replacing energy inefficient windows with
more efficient windows, replacing energy inefficient
appliances with more efficient appliances, replacing energy
inefficient lighting with more efficient lighting, insulating
dwellings and buildings, using market incentives to encourage energy
efficiency, and such other projects which will
increase energy efficiency in homes and rental properties.
(c) The Agency may, by administrative rule, establish
criteria and an
application process for this grant program.
(d) (Blank).
(e) (Blank).
