SAG Portfolio Planning Process

Background

The objective of the SAG Portfolio Planning Process is to reach consensus on Illinois Energy Efficiency Portfolio Plans prior to individual Illinois utilities (Ameren Illinois, ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas) filing Plans for approval with the Illinois Commerce Commission.

SAG holds the Portfolio Planning Process once every 4 years, unless a change in Illinois law requires discussion related to EE portfolio planning. The objective of the 2024 SAG Planning Process is for non-financially interested parties to reach consensus on 2026-2029 individual utility EE Plans for Ameren Illinois, ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas, prior to each utility filing an EE Plan with the Commission for approval by March 1, 2025.
