The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is delivering investments that spur clean energy development and slash climate pollution in Illinois cities and rural communities, moving Illinois towards a clean energy economy that creates jobs and lowers energy costs for families statewide. 

The IRA will invest $18 billion in large-scale clean power generation and storage in Illinois by 2030.  As of June of 2024, Illinois communities have received more than $2 billion in clean energy, clean transportation, environmental resilience, infrastructure, and climate smart agriculture grants.
