The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is starting another round of input on implementation of the Michigan Healthy Climate Plan. For this session, we are soliciting input on the priorities across the action areas under “Clean the Electric Grid,” including these priority actions to meet our climate goals:

• Drive building electrification and fuel-switching in existing buildings including an emphasis on low-income and disadvantaged communities and electrifying households that currently rely on delivered fuels such as propane and home heating oil.
• Reduce household fossil energy use through home repairs, electrical upgrades for building and vehicle electrification, weatherization, and other energy waste reduction investments with an emphasis on ensuring equitable access.
• Decarbonize government and nonprofit facilities and infrastructure, with an emphasis on low-income and disadvantaged communities, by reducing energy waste, investing in decarbonization solutions, and reducing emissions from fossil fuel combustion.

Each virtual listening session will begin with a brief introduction by EGLE on the MI Healthy Climate Plan goals related to the specific action area. We will then open it up for public comment, where those who wish to comment will have three minutes each. Feedback received in these sessions will serve to organize and influence near- and long-term greenhouse gas reduction measures. After registering, you will receive an email from "EGLE Outreach" with a link for you to use to join the webinar.
