AG Raoul announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) rescinded its unlawful policy capping reimbursement for state energy programs, preserving a multistate coalition’s victory in federal court and bringing the case to a close.
“The Department of Energy’s unlawful policy threatened work being done in Illinois and across the nation to improve energy efficiency, strengthen energy resiliency and increase clean energy. Improving energy efficiency by increasing clean energy is good for the environment, state economies and our workers. I am proud to have won this legal victory that protects these important efforts.” – AG Raoul
