SPRINGFIELD â Illinois lawmakers are set to return to Springfield Tuesday to consider a massive energy bill that aims to move the state toward 100% clean power generation by 2050.
Under the latest proposal, utility giant Exelon would receive nearly $700 million in ratepayer subsidies to keep three of its nuclear power plants open while the stateâs coal-fired plants would be forced to shutter by 2035. Natural gas plants would be phased out by 2045.
However, no bill language has been filed and there s uncertainty as to whether a deal has actually been struck. Â
Negotiations, led by Gov. J.B. Pritzkerâs administration, have included a wide range of stakeholders, including environmental groups and the stateâs largest utility companies.
