Vistra’s power plant sites across Illinois.
Renew Illinois Power is the official site of Vistra Corp., created to provide communities, public officials, and the public with information about the company’s footprint in Illinois.
Since its 2018 merger with Dynegy Inc., the company has been taking steps to responsibly operate, retire, and transition its Illinois fleet of power plant sites to support the state’s economic and energy needs.
Over time, the company’s approach and strategies have evolved to meet the needs of customers, officials, and the communities the company operates in and serves.
