SB2473
Illinois SB2473, introduced by Sen. Bill Cunningham, overhauls how municipal and cooperative electric utilities plan, procure power, and price electricity. It mandates integrated resource plans every 3 years, requires at least one market-based time-of-use rate option for retail customers, sets renewable energy targets (25% by 2026 rising to 40% by 2030, 100% by 2045), and forces retirement of coal and gas generation by 2045. Despite being tagged as AI-related, this is fundamentally an energy and utility governance bill with no AI-specific provisions.
