FactVote combines EIA annual utility-scale generation with estimated small-scale solar generation, then groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills. Generation is electricity produced inside Illinois, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented. Small-scale solar generation is estimated by EIA. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources. The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Method and limitations
U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly retail motor-gasoline survey estimate for Chicago. FactVote displays the published dollars-per-gallon value and calculates changes from EIA's published prior-week and year-earlier observations.
EIA does not publish a current statewide Illinois weekly gasoline-price series; this is the Chicago survey area and should not be read as the Illinois statewide average.
The regional estimate does not represent the price at every station or in every Illinois community.
The series is nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns, and weekly estimates can be revised.
Compare the bill, electricity used, and price per unit for the same year.

Total electricity generation
FactVote combines EIA annual utility-scale generation with estimated small-scale solar generation, then groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.
Generation is electricity produced inside Illinois, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented. Small-scale solar generation is estimated by EIA. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources. The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage.

All 50 states are listed, including states without a comparable observation. Ranks use stored source precision; displayed values may round to the same number.
Share of electricity generated at Illinois facilities from renewable energy resources during 2024.
This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.
Other major shares of in-state generation
Nuclear
53%
Natural gas
16%
Wind
13%
Method and limitations
FactVote calculated each share from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2024 state profile: utility-scale generation from Table 5 plus estimated small-scale solar generation from Table 19. The denominator includes both utility-scale and small-scale generation; displayed shares are rounded to whole percentages.
This measures in-state electricity generation, not total energy consumption or the generation mix of imported electricity.
The percentage does not by itself measure emissions, reliability, affordability, or land use.
Outage comparisons use the same reporting standard. Major-event outages and ordinary-day outages use different EIA reporting definitions.

EIA distribution-system reliability for utilities using the IEEE standard. SAIDI is average customer interruption duration; SAIFI is average frequency.
Reported customer coverage is incomplete and differs by state. These figures cover reporting utilities, not every customer. Major-event definitions follow IEEE; a severe-weather year can dominate the all-events value. Coverage percentage is not itself outage performance.

This section matches specific electricity, fuels, energy costs and emissions terms in retained, attributed source text from published Illinois candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said.

Only current Illinois officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Illinois statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Illinois snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Illinois, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
Retained state source collections assembled October 5, 2026. Original review and source dates remain visible. Refreshing this page does not refresh an official data release.
