…www.pjm.com | Public CEJA Requirements The Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act requires certain fossil fuel-fired generating units to reduce carbon dioxide equivalent (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride) and other co-pollutants (sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide) to zero by January 1, 2030, effectively requiring such units to retire.

…ssions Deadlines and Emissions Restrictions: “Notwithstanding any applicable zero emissions or emissions reduction deadline, or 12-month rolling average emissions restriction, EGUs and LGUs are allowed to temporarily continue emitting GHGs if it has been determined that ongoing operation of the EGU is necessary to maintain power grid supply and reliability or ongoing operation of the LGU that is not an EGU is necessary to serve as an emergency backup to operations, consistent with the following: • If a unit that is a participant in an RTO intends to retire, it must submit documentation to the appropriate RTO by the appropriate deadline that meets all applicable regulatory requirements necessary to obtain approval to permanently cease operating the unit; • If a unit that is a participant in an RTO receives notice that the RTO has determined that continued operation of the unit is required, the unit may continue operating until the issue identified by the RTO is resolved. The unit must cooperate with the RTO in resolving the issue and must reduce its emissions consistent with the applicable zero emissions, emissions reduction, or 12-month rolling average emissions restriction requirements as soon as practicable when the issue identified by the RTO is resolved; • Any unit that is not a participant in an R…
