MPSC Approves Program to Launch New Wind and Solar in 2025
JACKSON, Mich., Aug. 22, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy is moving forward with an expanded customer-powered clean energy effort that will lower costs and help protect the planet after receiving approval today from the Michigan Public Service Commission.
Consumers Energy's new Renewable Energy Program will enable every household and business to match 100% of their energy use with cost-effective wind and solar power. Landlords, businesses and other individuals can also purchase renewable energy on someone else's behalf through a new effort called Green Giving.
"Consumers Energy is excited to expand customers' options so more people can power clean energy here in Michigan," said Lauren Snyder, Consumers Energy's vice president of customer experience.
The new programs will roll out in 2025. Consumers Energy customers can learn more and sign up for updates at ConsumersEnergy.com/renewablehome.
Highlights of Consumers Energy's customer-powered proposal:
Consumers Energy is Michigan's largest energy provider, providing natural gas and/or electricity to 6.8 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties. Consumers Energy's Clean Energy Plan calls for eliminating coal as an energy source in 2025, achieving net-zero carbon emissions and meeting 90% of customers' energy needs through clean sources, including wind and solar.
