Nearly everything about how we produce, deliver, and consume energy is changing to better meet Michiganders’ needs in both the short and long term.
Michigan benefits when we invest in and maintain a diverse, flexible array of energy sources that ensures we can produce the energy we need, when we need it.
A resilient grid keeps every Michigander more safe and secure. Michigan’s local energy providers are building a stronger, smarter grid that supports the way we use energy today.
Using the energy we have more efficiently is vital to making our state’s energy system stronger and helping it work better for all of us.
We recently discussed some of the ways local energy providers work to support local communities by participating in an array of community-focused projects and initiatives. Today, we want to take some time to recognize some other ways local providers are giving back to help support everything from good old summertime fun to wildlife restoration and environmental education to economic and neighborhood development in communities across the state.
Summer is heating up—and with the higher temperatures come increased energy use and greater demand. All of these factors can have a significant impact on the rates we pay for electricity. That’s why now is a good time to take a look back at some of our previous discussions on rates and infrastructure investments.
Building a brighter, cleaner energy future for all Michiganders isn’t just an investment in upgrading our state’s energy sector or electric infrastructure. It’s an investment in jobs, in local businesses, and in our communities.
