SPRINGFIELD– You probably have not heard of NRG, but it wants to elbow Exelon out of the way this fall veto session.
Judith Lagano, an executive with the New Jersey based-generation company, says the Competitive Clean Energy Act would apply a market-based approach to purchasing clean energy attributes.
Attributes?
“It’s a characteristic of that energy that’s carbon-free,” Lagano said during an interview at the Capitol. “That would correspond to the end game of a 100 percent renewable energy mix in 2050. Starting from 2020, you could set a target for every year.”
Lagano says Exelon wants to pay everybody less, which – she says – distorts the market.
NRG owns five facilities in Illinois – four in the Chicago area and one near Peoria.
