On June 7, the Illinois Stretch Energy Code proposed rules were published in the Illinois Register. The proposed rules can be found here. The proposed stretch code includes provisions related to heat pumps, demand response, electrical energy storage system readiness, solar-readiness and electric-readiness. MEEA submitted comments during the initial 45-day comment period on the proposed rules, which closed on July 22. The code now moves to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) for a final round of public comment and voting to officially adopt the codes. The process is now expected to be completed by October 2024. If adopted by JCAR, the state stretch energy code will be available for municipal adoption.
On July 22, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) was awarded a $430 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Implementation Grant (CPRG). The statewide Illinois Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) highlighted energy efficiency in multiple priority measures, including:
- Improving building efficiency, reaching a 33% reduction in energy use in buildings by 2050.
- Accelerating the use of efficient, all-electric heating appliances in buildings, significantly increasing their share of new sales to between 50% and 90% by 2050.
- Establishing a clean building gap closing and incentive stacking catalyst fund, to braid together available incentives to achieve full decarbonization of residential buildings for low-income and moderate-income households and households in disadvantaged communities.
- Improve industrial efficiency 5% by 2030 and 25% by 2050, and support implementation of process improvements.
The Chicago, Naperville and Elgin Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) also submitted a PCAP to the EPA, but they were not awarded an implementation grant. Both the Illinois EPA and the Chicago, Naperville and Elgin MSA will submit Comprehensive Climate Action Plans in August 2025, as an extension of CPRG planning grants awarded in 2023.

Legislative
Michigan legislators finalized the state budget, which the Governor signed on July 24. The budget includes several line items for key energy priorities:
- The Michigan Public Service Commission received a substantial funding increase to hire additional staff to implement the 2023 legislation. The Commission also received $1 million to conduct an energy efficiency and demand response potential study.
- Legislators also allocated funding for a housing affordability program, which will include funding for deep energy efficiency retrofits in the existing housing stock.
- Michigan Saves received $5 million to help leverage funding for clean energy projects.
Legislators are now on summer break; it is expected that the legislature will reconvene for session days later in the year and could take up some of the bills below.
- SB 237, which would extend tax credits to data centers to encourage companies to site them in Michigan, passed out of the Senate on May 9.
- HF 4906, which is virtually identical but focuses on the sales tax portion as opposed to the use tax portion, passed the Senate as amended on May 16. Both go to the House now to be concurred.
- The bills have gathered opposition from energy and environmental advocates who are concerned that an influx of data centers could jeopardize the state’s target of carbon-free electricity generation by 2040, which was enacted into law last year by the legislature. In order to qualify for the credits, a data center facility must attain one or more green building standards, such as BREEAM®, ENERGY STAR®, ISO 50001, LEED®, Green Globes® or UL 3223. The bill additionally states that data centers are encouraged (but not mandated) to take positive steps to mitigating environmental impacts, including adoption of energy efficiency measures.
- Sen. Singh and Sen. Outman have introduced a package of bills – SB 879, SB 880 and SB 881 – that would collectively amend the state’s processes around the state’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund. Among other changes, the legislation would allow the Commission to increase the funding factor for the assistance from $1 per ratepayer to $2, remove the $50 million cap, remove the provision that utilities could opt-out of collecting the funding factor and institute a requirement that the Department of Health and Human Services submit an annual report on the disbursement of funds. SB 880 and 881 passed the Senate on June 26 and now head to the House.
- Lastly, Governor Whitmer signed HB 5028 into law. The bill prohibits homeowners’ associations from preventing Michigan homeowners from installing, replacing or maintaining energy-saving improvements, like heat pumps, insulation, energy efficient appliances and more.

A legislative package, aimed at dismantling home appliance efficiency standards, is moving through the House. The package includes:
- HR 6192, the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act
- HR 7673, the Liberty in Laundry Act
- HR 7645, the Clothes Dryers Reliability Act
- HR 7637, the Refrigerator Freedom Act
- HR 7626, the Affordable Air Conditioning Act
- HR 7700, the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act
The Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act would empower a future DOE to revoke existing efficiency standards for home appliances and prohibit standards that increase the upfront cost of an appliance regardless of utility bill cost savings. The other five bills under consideration target recently completed and pending energy efficiency standards for washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and dishwashers, while making future efficiency standard improvements far more difficult to enact. The DOE has had the authority to set appliance efficiency standards since 1978 and is already required to ensure standards are cost-effective and technologically feasible. HRs 6192, 7637 and 7700 have passed the House but are unlikely to pass the Senate or be signed into law by President Biden.
Executive
The Department of Energy finalized energy efficiency requirements for residential water heaters. The rule is set to go into effect in 2029. The DOE estimates that the rule will save residential customers $7.6 billion per year on their energy and water bills.
The number of states challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)’s Order No. 1920 requiring long-term transmission planning continues to grow. On July 15, FERC essentially rejected all requests for a rehearing on Order No. 1920 by failing to respond within 30 days to the requests. Parties can now file appeals in court, and several already have. In the Midwest, the Public Utility Commission of Ohio filed a joint appeal with West Virginia in the 6 U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. These challenges come in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overruling of the Chevron doctrine, which required courts to give deference to federal agencies interpretation of federal statutes containing any ambiguity. FERC may have a more difficult time defending the Order in the wake of this ruling.
FERC released Orders No. 1920 and No. 1977 on May 13 after a three-year rulemaking process. Order No. 1977 amends FERC’s sitting procedures. Order No. 1920 is likely to have significant impacts on long-term transmission planning. Some of the key provisions in Order No. 1920 include:
- Requiring transmission providers to use a 20-year planning horizon, an increase from the prior 3–5-year planning timeline for projected new resources.
- A more expansive list of seven benefits transmission providers must consider in evaluating each planning scenario.
- Requires state input in the evaluation and selection of the long-term regional plans as well as a public explanation of why a project was or was not selected.
- Changes to the cost allocation process including a requirement for transmission operators to hold a 6-month long stakeholder engagement period with relevant state entities.
Additionally, several groups have recently filed energy efficiency-related complaints at the FERC. The market monitor for Regional Transmission Organization PJM Interconnection has called for the removal of energy efficiency from PJM’s capacity market, claiming energy efficiency is not a dispatchable resource. Meanwhile, ratepayer advocates including the Illinois Citizens Utility Board along with four US Senators, filed a complaint against PJM at the FERC related to energy efficiency. The advocates and Senators argue that a PJM practice dating back to 2015 is preventing energy efficiency resources from fully participating in the capacity market. The complaint urges FERC to hold a technical conference on how to ensure energy efficiency resources are able to fully participate in wholesale energy capacity markets. FERC has not yet responded to the request for a technical conference.
On July 22, the EPA announced the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program implementation grant awards to 25 states and metropolitan statistical areas (MSA), totaling $4.3 billion of funding across the nation. In MEEA’s 13-state region, 29 state and local governing bodies submitted Priority Climate Action Plans and 5 received implementation grants. Awardees include Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and the Cleveland-Elyria, OH, MSA. These funds will be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of programmatic mechanisms, including energy efficiency financing and energy code advancement, with an emphasis on justice and equity.
The Biden-Harris administration is expected to announce an additional $300 million in CPRG implementation grant awards for Tribes, Tribal consortia and territories later this summer. That will be the final phase of CPRG implementation funding under current congressional appropriations.
The EPA also announced more than $325 million in Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants for 21 projects. Midwest winners include two projects in Cleveland, MetroHealth System and Community Housing Solutions and The Trust for Public Land and See You At The Top, along with a $20 million grant the Midwest Tribal Energy Resources Association and Grid Alternatives to install home weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades across 35 Tribes in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
