At its Aug. 7 meeting the Illinois Commerce Commission approved a series of largely uncontested orders granting certificates and contract approvals across electric, gas and procurement dockets.
The commission granted certificates to install, maintain or repair electric vehicle charging station facilities (items E6 through E22) and granted certifications for distributed generation and energy‑efficiency installers in multiple dockets. The commission approved an amendatory order to adjust annual quantities in several renewable energy credit (REC) contracts between petitioners and ComEd, Ameren and MidAmerican and granted motions to withdraw in two distributed‑generation applications that sought dismissal without prejudice.
The commission also approved the IPA procurement administrator’s recommendations for the August 2025 solicitation for indexed RECs and approved batches and contracts under the Illinois Adjustable Block Program and the Illinois Solar for All program, and it approved a proposed contract between the Illinois Power Agency (IPA) and Illum to administer Illinois Solar for All professional services.
Separately, the commission denied a certificate of public convenience and necessity sought by NYCOR to expand service along the I‑80 corridor in Grundy County, finding the application premature because the company did not demonstrate public need. The commission approved North Shore and Peoples Gas’ four‑year energy efficiency plan (noting the transcript provided the plan’s end year in an unclear format); the order increased income‑eligible budgets and expanded income‑eligible home energy assessments consistent with section 8‑104 of the Public Utilities Act.
Most items were approved by unanimous voice action with no objections recorded on the transcript.
