CHICAGO, IL – Without rapid investments in clean energy storage, Illinois consumers will pay up to $30 more per month for energy, and the state will face energy shortfalls and a higher risk of blackouts, according to a newly released study.
The study, “Cost and Benefit Analysis of Energy Storage Resource Deployment in Illinois,” found that deploying at least 8,500 MW of clean energy storage would provide $3 billion in consumer cost savings, save $7.3 billion in blackout-related costs through increased grid reliability, and generate up to $16.3 billion in economic activity in Illinois by 2050.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Grid Deployment Office of the U.S. Department of Energy announced the second round awardees of the Grid Innovation Program, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (IIJA).
“With these awards the Energy Department is addressing some of the most acute challenges facing our energy system, including the need to connect more clean energy to the power grid and making the grid more efficient,” said Harry Godfrey, Managing Director of Federal Investment & Manufacturing at national business association Advanced Energy United. “The best way to cost-effectively meet growing energy demand is with advanced energy technologies, including advanced transmission technologies, long-duration storage, microgrids, and more. The continued success of this program, for which DOE received far more applications than there are dollars available, demonstrates the continued, bipartisan appeal of building an affordable, reliable, and clean grid to power America’s homes and businesses into the 21st century.”
