Illinois Power Agency Announces Roundtables and Storage for All Program Development

Illinois Shines · Sep 4

What happened

The Illinois Power Agency announced upcoming stakeholder roundtables for Approved Vendors and Equity Eligible Contractors scheduled for fall 2026. The agency is also beginning development of a new Storage for All initiative alongside routine administrative updates. Specific program design parameters and workshop schedules were not detailed in the notice.

Why it matters

The development of Storage for All indicates the state is moving toward dedicated incentives or frameworks for energy storage, which could directly affect future community solar plus storage project economics. Approved Vendors and developers active in Illinois should track the upcoming roundtables to see how storage will be integrated into the broader Illinois Shines framework. Exact rules, incentive levels, and eligibility criteria are yet to be determined.
