About Illinois Solar Map

With the passage of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) in 2021, Illinois is on a path to 100% carbon-free energy by 2050 and has enabled the rapid expansion of clean energy installations. This map is a first pass at creating a statewide aggregate tracking the status of the state’s rapid expansion of solar projects.

- As of Jan 2024, over 2,170,000 kilowatts of operating solar capacity have been installed in the State of Illinois. For comparison, Prairie State, the State’s largest coal power plant, is 1,630,000 kilowatts, illustrating just how far we've come in a few years, but still how far we have to go to reach 100% renewable energy in Illinois. + As of {{ site.last_updated }}, over {{ site.total_kw }} kilowatts of operating solar capacity have been installed in the State of Illinois. For comparison, Prairie State, the State’s largest coal power plant, is 1,630,000 kilowatts, illustrating just how far we've come in a few years, but still how far we have to go to reach 100% renewable energy in Illinois.

There are nearly 54,000 solar projects throughout the state, ranging in size from a single 0.6 kW solar panel to the 200,000 kW (200 megawatts) Prairie Wolf Solar project in Coles County.
