Comparison: State vs. Federal
• Rules. To date, the federal government's involvement in renewable energy programs has been limited to voluntary programs and providing financial incentives for renewable energy generation. However, Illinois state legislation has established a renewable energy portfolio standard.
• Administration and enforcement. The Illinois Commerce Commission assists with the development and implementation of the renewable energy portfolio standard.
