Smart Energy Policy keeps us on a path that will balance Michigan’s economic and environmental priorities and keeps electricity, reliable, affordable, and sustainable for everyone in our state.
Smart energy policy includes every aspect of Michigan’s political process, from the candidates we elect to the policy proposals they put forward—and ultimately enact.
Responsible regulation ensures energy remains reliable, affordable, and sustainable for all Michigan homes, businesses, and communities.
No one should have to choose between paying for the essentials and keeping the power on. Energy assistance helps low-income Michiganders meet their energy needs.
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.
