The Illinois Commerce Commission held a summer preparedness policy session to discuss grid reliability, resource adequacy, and preparations for summer energy demands. Presentations were provided by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) such as MISO and PJM, focusing on summer weather forecasts, transmission analysis, interconnection queues, and lessons learned from past storm events. Additionally, representatives from Illinois distribution utilities, including Commonwealth Edison and Ameren Illinois, discussed their storm restoration processes, grid infrastructure investments, and programs designed to help customers manage energy costs during peak demand periods.
