Clean Energy Potential in Southland Cook County

Rooftop Solar and Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Southland Cook County, IL

August 01, 2024

To help the Chicago suburban region achieve their clean energy goals as a means to realizing
equitable and sustainable outcomes, ELEVATE has been working with the five municipalities. To
develop comprehensive plans, quantitative data about their energy, climate, health, and
economy are necessary.

However, the five municipalities have very little data to work from and need both to understand their current situation and how the community could develop in the future. To promote the climate prioritization efforts, Greenlink was engaged in the data collection and analytics providing information about existing community electricity usage, clean energy potentials, emissions benefits, job creation potentials, the distribution of various economic, social, and health-associated burdens.
