A bipartisan group of Illinois lawmakers have introduced energy legislation to protect consumers from costs associated with the state’s planned phaseout of natural gas.
Democratic state Sen. Javier Cervantes said Senate Bill 3979 requires a thorough review of customer bill impacts before large-scale gas transition projects are approved and protects taxpayers from unfair cost increases and shifting.
Republican Sen. Terri Bryant said Senate Bill 4028 would have the Illinois Commerce Commission address outdated interconnection rules that lead to lengthy timelines and inconsistent costs for developers and businesses.
Democratic state Sen. Patrick Joyce introduced Senate Bill 3929 for a ten-year extension of Illinois’ clean energy timeline.
