The Illinois Commerce Commission approved Nicor Gas’s four‑year energy efficiency plan covering calendar years 2026 through 2029 and the related stipulated agreement at its July 17 meeting. The commission found the plan and agreement satisfy the requirements of section 8‑104 of the Public Utilities Act.

The order includes edits; on the record the commission removed the word “million” after the line listing Nicor’s budget pursuant to the 2% spending cap. Commissioners moved and seconded the edits and, with no objections on the record, approved the order as edited.

The approval allows Nicor to proceed with its energy efficiency programs under the scope and budgetary constraints set by statute and the commission’s order. The transcript does not state the numeric budget amount after the edit, only that the term “million” was deleted from the order text.
