IL SB3500

Illinois Commerce Commission shall protect residents' rights to produce, consume, and store their own energy without discriminatory repercussions from utility companies.

Residents may generate, consume, and export renewable energy, reducing reliance on grid electricity and use energy storage technology at their residences.

Electric utilities must allow timely connection of resident-owned renewable energy and energy storage systems to customer electrical meters in accordance with safety requirements and applicable codes.

Residents are entitled to receive fair credit for any energy exported to the grid.

Residents producing and storing their own energy cannot face discriminatory rate design, treatment, or excessive compliance requirements as defined in Section 16-107.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
