Illinois Commerce Commission grants certifications for EV-charging and distributed generation installers
Summary
The commission approved multiple certification applications Jan. 21, 2026, granting certificates for companies to install and service electric vehicle charging stations and distributed generation facilities, and approved licensor and energy-efficiency installer certificates.
At the Jan. 21 special open meeting, the Illinois Commerce Commission reviewed and granted a series of certification applications for firms seeking to install, maintain or repair electric vehicle charging stations and to serve as installers of distributed generation and energy efficiency measures.
The Chairperson introduced items E-7 through E-16 (EV charging certifications) and E-19 through E-21 (distributed generation installers), and asked whether the commission would consider the orders together. With no objections, the commission approved the certificates. The commission also approved an application granting a licensor authority to act as agents, brokers and consultants (item E-18) and approved items E-24 through E-30 granting certificates to install energy efficiency measures.
Why it matters: Certification ensures installers meet the technical and regulatory requirements to perform safety-critical work on EV charging and distributed generation equipment. Approvals enable the certified companies to operate under Illinois regulatory oversight.
What happened next: All certification-related items were approved by unanimous consent and docketed for effect; the commission proceeded to consider gas and water items after these approvals.
