Illinois: The New Frontier for Grid Flexibility

Illinois is undergoing a massive grid transformation driven by the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability (CRGA) Act. Unlike traditional demand response programs that focused solely on emergency curtailment, the new IL framework prioritizesVirtual Power Plants (VPPs) and distributed storage.

Why This Matters for Direct Procurement

Commercial facilities in ComEd and Ameren zones can now stack revenue streams: PJM Capacity Performance payments + State-mandated VPP participation + Energy Arbitrage using storage.

Energy Storage

Standalone storage is now eligible for rebates. No solar requirement. $250-$400/kWh incentives available.

VPP Revenue

New tariffs arriving June 2026. Get paid for scheduled dispatch during peak grid stress events.
