SPRINGFIELD – Governor JB Pritzker signed a controversial battery storage and energy omnibus bill into law Thursday.
Senate Bill 25, also known as the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, is another example of flawed green energy policies that Illinois ratepayers are already all too familiar with.
Pritzker’s signing of SB 25 comes on the heels of a study released last month by three state agencies that detailed the ‘credible risk’ of electricity shortages across Illinois within the next five years.
Republican State Representatives Dave Severin of Benton and Paul Jacobs of Pomona voted against the bill in the House and said it will continue to raise energy rates in the state of Illinois.
