Questions

No. It means projects have to work without the state exemption, which narrows interest to genuinely good sites rather than eliminating it. Illinois still has substantial transmission, generation, and demand. What has changed is that a marginal site is now much less likely to attract anybody.
Possibly, and it is worth asking directly. New agreements stopped on 1 July 2026. If they hold an agreement entered into before that date it is being honoured. If they do not, and they are describing the exemption as available to them, they are either mistaken or hoping you will not check.
Because they sit in different grid regions. Northern Illinois is inside PJM and central and southern Illinois is inside MISO, and those are separate interconnection processes with separate queues and timescales. Two similar farms on opposite sides of that boundary are not equivalent for this purpose.
Nobody knows, including us. It is a two year suspension rather than a repeal, and what replaces it, if anything, will depend on the legislature. Anybody telling you confidently what the rules will be is guessing, and you should treat a plan that depends on that guess accordingly.
There is no fixed number and anyone offering one without seeing your ground is guessing. Contiguity and what runs near you electrically matter far more than the total, and in Illinois right now the electrical question carries more weight than it did a year ago.
Do not sign and do not treat a deadline in the letter as binding. Ask whether they hold a pre-existing agreement under the state programme, and whether they are buying for themselves or for a party they have not named. Have an Illinois attorney read it. That applies to a letter from us as much as from anyone.
Frequently nothing. Plenty of arrangements involve part of a property while the remainder carries on in production. Raise it in the first conversation rather than assuming, and we would far rather you did.
Tell us about your property. There is no cost and no obligation. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.
These take about two minutes. Skip anything you do not know. Guessing is fine.
Thank you. We will review the property and come back to you with a plain answer either way, including if it does not fit.
