This includes more than 425 buildings, including City Hall, but also O'Hare Airport, one of the busiest in the world. This initiative should make Chicago one of the largest cities in the United States to commit to clean energy. The city has signed an agreement with electricity provider Constellation, in collaboration with clean energy specialist Swift Current Energy. The construction of a solar generation installation should start before the end of this year, located across Sangamon and Morgan counties.

The challenge is significant because, within 15 to 20 years, all the electricity consumed in the city should come from so-called clean sources, such as solar or wind power.
