The Program Administrator has published an updated version of the Approved Vendor Manual, Version 3.2. This version includes the following clarifications to existing program policies or recently announced updates:

• NP/PF Anchor Tenants: All anchor tenants of Low-Income Community Solar (LICS) projects, including non-profits and public sector anchors, will receive the Adjustable Block Program REC value for their subscription share. This was a provision contained in the Revised Long-Term Renewable Resources Procurement Plan that was inadvertently not included in the updated Approved Vendor Manual. This is change from the first two ILSFA program years, when non-profit and public sector anchors could receive the ILSFA LICS price.
• Municipal and Co-Op Suppliers: As a clarification, for customers whose electricity is supplied through their municipality or a co-op, the Approved Vendor should use the average rate based on 12 months of customer bills when completing the customer’s disclosure form. If the Approved Vendor is not able to use the 12-month average, the statewide average of $0.1248 per kWh can be used.

These changes have been implemented where applicable throughout the manual and are summarized in the appendix. Approved Vendors should refer to Version 3.2 of the manual moving forward, unless otherwise notified. Questions can be directed to info@IllinoisSFA.com.

Note: Version 3.2 of the Approved Vendor Manual has been uploaded to replace all previous links to older versions of the manual across the ILSFA website.
