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 clean energy deployment including improving siting for renewable energy and energy storage across Michigan, including on brownfields and former industrial sites and emphasizing equitable access for Michigan’s low-income and disadvantaged communities.
- Invest in energy storage and necessary electric grid investments to enable earlier coal plant retirements and better integrate renewable energy into the electric grid.
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.
