A bill to amend 2008 PA 295, entitled “Clean and renewable energy and energy waste reduction act,” by amending section 5 (MCL 460.1005), as amended by 2016 PA 342, and by adding part 8.
Senate Bills 152 and 153 would establish a regulatory framework to allow for the creation and interconnection of community solar facilities in the State. They would require an electric provider to connect a community solar facility within the provider's service area to its electric grid and provide a subscriber of the facility a credit on the subscriber's electric bill. The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) would have to establish a bill credit rate for the calculation of credits and regulate the creation, financing, grid-interconnection, and business practices of community solar.
