ILLINOIS — Today, Governor JB Pritzker outlined a comprehensive framework to address the growing impact of data centers on our energy, water resources, and local communities. In response, the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition released the following statement:
“The Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition applauds the Governor’s response to legislative inaction that advances a framework of commonsense data center protections for consumers and our environment. The coalition introduced the POWER Act because it offers the solutions Illinoisans – and this moment – are demanding. Consumers cannot afford more delays. Now is the time to begin negotiations on policies that will stop rising utility bills, protect our water, and end backroom development deals, and we look forward to working with the Governor, legislators, and stakeholders to get this done in the Fall veto session.”
