Power a Better Future - Oppose Naperville Renewing Coal Contract with IMEA

The Issue

Naperville City Council will vote on the renewal of Naperville's contract with the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA) on August 19, 2025. IMEA supplies 80% of our city’s energy from two polluting coal plants. Currently, the contract is set to expire in 2035, but with the renewal, the contract will be extended to 2055. 

As citizens of Naperville, it is important that we use our voices to show City Council members that extending the IMEA contract is unacceptable. We, the undersigned, petition the City Council of Naperville to reject the IMEA contract and commit to creating a robust Climate Action Plan that transitions Naperville to a clean energy future.
