Summary

Amends the Illinois Power Agency Act. Makes changes to the definition of "distributed renewable energy generation device" by removing language limiting hydropower under the definition to hydropower that does not involve new construction of hydropower dams from the list of sources that power a device. Makes a similar change to the list of energy sources in the definition of "renewable energy resources". In a provision concerning the duties and responsibilities of the Resource Development Bureau, provides that the first electric generation or co-generation facility that the Illinois Power Agency develops, finances, or constructs may be a facility that uses coal produced in Illinois or a renewable energy facility (rather than shall be a facility that uses coal produced in Illinois). Removes language providing that the Agency may also develop, finance, or construct renewable energy facilities after work on the first facility has commenced. Amends the Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Coal Resources Development Law of 1997 by making a similar change to the Act's definition of "renewable energy resources".
