Thanks for the opportunity, @volts.wtf! Always a blast talking up IL climate and energy leadership and a dream come true from my 15 years of scheming alongside @kadymcfadden.bsky.social. CRGA doubles down on renewables and DERs at a time when the grid needs them most. @votesolar.bsky.social
Today on Volts: while some blue states hedge on their green commitments, Illinois is doubling down, passing its third major energy bill in a decade. Among other things, this one empowers the state's utility regulator to directly procure clean energy. I get into it w/ two of its architects.
How Illinois passed its third big clean-energy bill in a decade
Kady McFadden and John Delurey join me to talk about why "fast and cheap" is the new winning message for climate policy.

The Clean & Reliable Grid Act strengthens the grid by:
🔋 Adding 3GW of utility-scale battery storage
⚡ Upgrading transmission
🏠 Enabling 1.8GW of virtual power plants in homes & businesses
CRGA will save Ameren customers up to $10.59/month by 2030 — and create tens of thousands of jobs.

Illinois Passed New Clean Energy Legislation—What to Look for in 2026
Illinois clean energy advocates are justifiably still giddy over the state legislature’s passage of the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA, or surge-ah as we call it). The wide-ranging legislation contains several energy policy updates to help Illinois achieve its clean electricity goal
