The Program Administrator has published instructions for entities requesting to be considered a Critical Service Provider.
In order for a project to be eligible for the Illinois Solar for All Non-Profit/Public Facilities sub-program, the project must serve the load of a building that is occupied by a non-profit organization or public sector entity that is a Critical Service Provider to the low-income or environmental justice community in which it resides. For a public facility, the building must host a department/agency that is a critical service provider meeting this standard. If the prospective non-profit or public sector entity is not represented within the list of Critical Service Providers in Section 4 of the Approved Vendor Manual, the Approved Vendor or that entity may submit a request for consideration of that entity as a Critical Service Provider.
