Energy Savings During the Illinois Solar Revolution
Our Water & Natural Resources Protection Action Team and the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development invite you to attend this second event in a series of Friday BMP Talks and Tours that showcase some of the exciting Best Management Practices (BMPs) being implemented in McHenry County.
Friday, May 13, 1-3 pm
McHenry County College Shah Center
4100 West Shamrock Lane, McHenry, IL
In 2021, Governor Pritzker signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), the most ambitious energy law in the history of the State. Hal Sprague, with Trajectory Energy Partners, will summarize the parts of the law that give municipalities, businesses, non-profits and schools a terrific opportunity to participate in the solar revolution by hosting their own solar projects essentially for free.
Following Hal’s talk, Kim Hankins, McHenry County College Sustainability Director and Defenders Board President, will provide a tour of the solar installation at the Shah Center, explaining its history and production. Refreshments will be served.

To improve the resiliency of our communities and sustainably manage resources, it is becoming increasingly important to implement the BMPs showcased in this series. Join us to see these inspiring projects in action and learn from the experts how they can be successfully implemented in your communities. Learn how you can save money and resources for your communities or facilities by implementing these best management practices. These events are held monthly on Friday afternoons, to make attending them convenient for staff of municipalities, townships, school districts, park districts, libraries, schools and churches, as well as the general public.
