Bill overview
This bill modifies Michigan’s Clean and Renewable Energy Act to allow electricity generated from reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) generators to contribute towards the state’s renewable energy and clean energy standards. Specifically, it expands the criteria for utilizing RICE-generated electricity, particularly for electric providers in the Upper Peninsula, to help facilitate the retirement of coal-fired power plants. The bill also includes provisions related to renewable energy credit portfolio requirements and potential extensions for meeting those requirements.
