Version 11.0 Change Summary Memo (7/12/2022)

• The IL-TRM Administrator prepared a memo containing a high-level summary of the proposed TRM changes that may have an impact on program offerings: Memo from IL-TRM Administrator to IL-TRM Stakeholders and Interested Parties: IL-TRM Version 11.0 Change Impact Summary (7/12/2022)
• The goal of the memo is to provide an aid for the utilities and other TAC participants to help disseminate information on the proposed updates to the TRM to additional stakeholder groups who may be less involved in the TAC discussions or aware of their potential outcomes. The goal is to promote a wider high-level understanding of the proposed changes that are likely to have the highest impact on a measure’s savings and/or cost effectiveness, or require changes to how measures are implemented, in order that program implementation plans can progress with the awareness of where changes to offerings may occur. While these changes are still in draft form, this early view of the proposed changes will allow any input from the additional stakeholder groups to be provided before final decisions are made, allowing the TAC appropriate time to review, discuss, and reach consensus on the appropriate path forward.
