2023-2024 Program Year: Group A Large DG/Small DG Closed

The Group A Large DG category closed on July 14, 2023 followed by Small DG on October 3, 2023. Therefore, any Part I applications batched and submitted to the Program after the blocks closed are being waitlisted, which will cause a delay in the availability of Illinois Shines incentive payments.

We encourage everyone to continue to submit information to our CSG portal even though there is no Program capacity currently available. Carbon Solutions will also continue to submit applications to the waitlist as they will be first in line when new capacity becomes available for the 2024-25 Program year on June 1, 2024.

For solar projects where the relevant Program block has closed: The Illinois Shines category for this project is full for the current Program Year. This solar project will be waitlisted and is expected to receive an Illinois Shines incentive in the next Program Year, which begins June 1, 2024. Incentive rates may change for the next Program Year. If the amount of the incentive payment that you receive will change, the Project Seller or Approved Vendor is required to notify you.

For solar projects sold near the end of the Program Year: This solar project may not be approved by Illinois Shines prior to the end of the Program Year. If the project receives an Illinois Shines incentive in the next Program Year, which begins June 1, 2024, it may receive a different incentive rate. If the amount of the incentive payment that you receive will change, the Project Seller or Approved Vendor is required to notify you.

The Project Look Up Tool was recently added to the Program website, and allows customers who have a Distributed Generation solar project participating in Illinois Shines to view the status of their application.

Sincerely,
Carbon Solutions SREC
