Everyone deserves comfortable, efficient, and resilient spaces to live, work, and thrive. Our goal is to make energy accessible and affordable for every community.

The Clean Energy Jobs and Justice Fund (CEJJF) is dedicated to fostering a sustainable future for all Illinois residents.

Incorporated in the State of Illinois as directed by the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, we are committed to ensuring that the advantages of the clean energy revolution reach every corner of our state. Our innovative financing tools ensure frontline communities will benefit economically and environmentally from Illinois’ transition to clean energy. We offer accessible loans and grants to residents, business owners, and clean energy business alike to promote access to the benefits of clean energy and energy efficiency.

The fund is managed by a governor-appointed board of directors. Learn more about our leadership.

Our programs

Our programs will not only make energy efficiency upgrades and small-scale renewable energy systems more affordable for everyone ─ businesses, educational institutions, municipalities, and residents alike, but also support an entrepreneurial ecosystem, fostering growth and new workforce development opportunities for Minority Business Enterprises.

How do we achieve this?

Monitoring for success

As we roll out our products and programs, we’ll track program results to ensure they are working effectively. And we’ll share our data for transparency and accountability.
