A Project located in a state adjacent to Illinois must complete and submit an eligibility request spreadsheet to the Illinois Power Agency (“IPA”) and the IPA will determine whether the Project meets the public interest criteria in the Act and has been pre-approved to be eligible for Illinois RPS compliance. The evaluation spreadsheet is available on the IPA’s website, under the header “Adjacent State Facility Eligibility”. Once the required fields in yellow have been inputted, the spreadsheet generates a preliminary score subject to review by the IPA. The minimum score needed to qualify is 60.
