Vernon Hills Park District Uses Trane’s Renewable Energy Solutions to Offset Community Electrical Costs
In 2017, the Future Energy Jobs Act and Illinois Power Agency established the adjustable block program to support new rooftop solar and community solar projects in Illinois. With goals of ensuring the state of Illinois produced 25% of its electricity using renewable energy by 2025, the law ushered in a statewide solar boom.
When the program opened for project applications in 2019, Illinois residents, organizations, and businesses had the opportunity to “go solar” with added monetary incentives and benefits.
