Nice News - The city of Chicago kicked off 2025 with a bang by delivering on a promise that took years to achieve: As of Jan. 1, all city-owned buildings are 100% powered by renewable energy. “Chicago is committed to taking bold steps as the world faces climate crises,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement. “With this transition to renewable energy, we are achieving a goal that the city has been working toward for years and fulfilling a promise to Chicagoans via the creation of clean jobs and meaningful progress toward a sustainable future.”
Due to the switch, more than 400 buildings — including O’Hare International Airport, Harold Washington Library, 98 fire stations, and two of the world’s largest water treatment plants — are now purely using clean energy, making Chicago one of the largest U.S. cities operating its municipal buildings with this type of power.
