Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan’s law regarding the construction of electric transmission lines. Specifically, it allows qualified ‘affiliated transmission companies’ – companies that previously belonged to electric utilities – to obtain a ‘certificate of public convenience and necessity’ to build major transmission lines. This change aims to facilitate the development of transmission infrastructure within the state, potentially supporting the integration of renewable energy sources.
