Public School Carbon-Free Assessment Program​​​​

 What is it?

  • Public Schools Carbon-Free Assessment program was created as a result of the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which was passed in September 2021. This landmark legislation puts the state of Illinois on a path toward 100% renewable energy by the year 2050.
  • CEJA includes provisions to phase out carbon emissions from the energy and transportation sectors. As part of this legislation, public schools can receive a carbon-free assessment from ComEd or Ameren Illinois at no cost.
  • This non-interruptive assessment includes an inspection of the building envelope and mechanical insulation. They will also determine the estimated costs needed for electrification, the building’s solar energy potential, and opportunities to save energy and reduce costs.
  • To qualify for a grant under Section 5-40 of the School Construction Law, a public school district must submit a copy of a PSCFA report (if a PSCFA has been performed) or request the PSCFA and submit a copy of the report as soon as it becomes available.
  • The program will end December 31, 2029.
