EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (Illinois)
Grantya researchSee program
Illinois received $430.25M from EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (IRA §60114) for community-driven climate solutions. Focus areas: decarbonization, freight electrification, climate-smart agriculture, and renewable energy. NOTE: CPRG is statutorily distinct from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (CAA §134) which OBBBA §60002 explicitly repealed. CPRG impact under OBBBA could not be fully confirmed from primary sources, though most implementation grants were already obligated by Nov 2024 and EPA extended the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan deadline to June 1, 2026 (announced Nov 25, 2025) — suggesting the program is still proceeding. Conservative messaging recommended until IL EPA confirms final implementation plan release. Sign up for the Illinois EPA CPRG listserv for announcements.
