This community solar project is made possible due to renewable energy credit (REC) sales through the “Illinois Shines”, the state-administered Adjustable Block Program. Read more about the program at the link below.
The community solar farm is being developed by independent developer, Bluestem Energy Solutions. Bluestem will own and operate the project long term. JCE will purchase 100 percent of the power from the solar farm for the 25-year expected life of the project.

This program is independent of the existing Southview Solar Farm due to specific requirements from the state.
