Assuming not otherwise barred from participation (such as due to location or project maturity status), a brownfield site project participating in a net metering program would not be disqualified from participating, as the IPA does not consider a project’s mere participation in a net metering or virtual net metering program to constitute “a generating unit whose costs were being recovered through rates regulated by this State or any other state or states on or after January 1, 2017.”  (20 ILCS 3855/1-75(c)(1)(J)). However, such projects may instead seek to participate in the Adjustable Block Program described in Section 1-75(c)(1)(K)-(L) of the IPA Act and proposed in the IPA’s Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan or in the brownfield site procurement event proposed in the IPA’s Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan, as approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission.
