Architect of climate policy takes reins of Illinois Commerce Commission twill
Now, the man who became one of the architects of the state's landmark energy reform policy -- known as the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act -- will be a key player in implementing the law he helped create.
Scott said he was driven to return to the ICC in part because he was excited about implementing CEJA, which set a goal of decarbonizing the state's electric grid by 2045. The wide-ranging bill also included other reforms such as new utility regulatory schemes and new subsidies for the state's nuclear fleet.
Mitchell, who has since left Pritzker's administration for a role at the University of Chicago, said Scott takes over an ICC that has seen its authority expanded thanks to the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act. Scott said he followed through on that by offering his knowledge of other states' energy policies and by facilitating working groups of stakeholders affected by energy policy -- people from the transportation sector, utilities, major industry groups and equity advocates, to name a few.
Scott said impacts on customers and grid resiliency are among his considerations when making administrative decisions on cases. "The fact that there's so much going on at once, I like that pace," Scott said."I think it's pretty exciting to be doing that." Beyond these cases, Scott and other recently appointed commissioners will likely oversee other key components of the continued rollout of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, according to Sarah Moskowitz, director of the Citizens Utility Board, a nonprofit created by the state legislature that represents consumer interests before the ICC.
"I'm one of five. Other than, you know, the work at meetings, chairing the meetings, there aren't any extra powers or authority I have compared to the others," Scott said, while sitting in a corner office reserved for the ICC's chair. "Over my career, I have represented everyone from utilities to local governments to consumers , so I understand how commission decisions can affect each of these groups," Reddick said in an email statement.
