Our energy system is going through a transformational change. Evolving consumer preferences, dynamic new technologies, and aging infrastructure are causing the energy system as we have known it to modernize. And with this change, comes opportunity.

In addition to supporting more than 119,000 jobs in Illinois and 3.3 million jobs across the United States, the advanced energy industry is poised to provide the technology and know-how to bring in a new era of secure, clean, and affordable energy.

The next Governor has an opportunity to harness the economic power of the advanced energy industry to transform the Illinois economy.

As a business association representing a wide variety of energy technologies as well as major corporate energy buyers, Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) has identified five key priorities as well as specific executive actions and legislative goals that will allow the next Governor to pursue an economic development agenda that takes full advantage of the potential of advanced energy.
