Introduced
by
To increase the mandate imposed by a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-213">2008 law</a> that electric utilities must generate at least 10 percent of their power from “renewable” sources by 2015. The mandate would increase to 19 percent in 2022, and then ratchet upwards by 1.5 percent annually unless suspended by the state Public Service Commission. The bill would also revise details of how these “renewable portfolios” are determined, and details of a “net metering” mandate imposed on utilities, which requires them to purchase electricity from customers who generate small amounts.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology
