What does ISEA do?
Your ticket purchase will help ISEA Grow Solar Jobs in Illinois!
You have likely heard that the US solar industry has shown tremendous growth over the past several years, currently employing more workers that oil, gas and pipeline jobs! Solar is one of the fastest growing job sectors and has tremendous potential to ensure our country’s energy security.
Unfortunately, Illinois has begun to lose some of its 3,400 clean energy jobs due to non functioning renewable energy policies! To turn this around, Illinois needs to update its the renewable portfolio standard (RPS).
The bipartisan Illinois Clean Jobs Bill will fix the RPS and expand it to 35% renewable energy by 2030 (up from the current target of 25% by 2025). The bill also calls for a boost in energy efficiency. This bill has the potential to create 32,000 jobs and save consumers $1.6 billion!
“A new RPS, like the one envisioned in the Illinois Clean Jobs Bill, would give companies and investors the reliability that they need,” said Lesley McCain, Executive Director of the Illinois Solar Energy Association. Adding that “Illinois has the potential to take the lead in clean energy development and enjoy all of the economic benefits that this robust industry will bring to the State! “
