Illinois Climate Pollution Reduction Grants: Stretch Code Adoption Grant Application - Fourth Round
About This Grant
In July 2024, Illinois was announced as one of the recipients of an award under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program, created by the Inflation Reduction Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) awarded $430,251,378 to the State of Illinois to implement a variety of programs over the five-year grant period (2024-2029). Stretch Code Adoption Grants are one of these programs. The 2023 Illinois Stretch Energy Code, established under 20 ILCS 3125/55, took effect on January 1, 2025. Illinois developed this stretch code as part of its broader efforts to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and align with the state’s ambitious climate goals. By adopting a stretch energy code, municipalities have the opportunity to exceed the baseline statewide energy efficiency requirements. ICB anticipates the release of a 2026 Illinois Stretch Energy Code by the Capital Development Board (CDB) later this year. The 2026 Stretch Code will include changes to the target dates for the site energy index standards. Projects under this grant program may target adoption of either the 2023 Stretch Code or the 2026 Stretch Code, once released.
