AI Summary
This bill makes comprehensive changes to Michigan's Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act, focusing on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and distributed generation standards. The key provisions include: adjusting the renewable energy credit portfolio requirements to set a goal of 35% of the state's electric needs being met through energy waste reduction and renewable energy by 2025; modifying distributed generation program limits by reducing the overall cap from 10% to 1% of an electric utility's average peak load; establishing different net metering approaches for small (20 kilowatts or less) and larger distributed generation systems; removing certain previous definitions related to clean energy and carbon capture; expanding the definition of renewable energy resources to include more waste-based fuel sources; and creating new categories like advanced cleaner energy systems. The bill also adjusts energy waste reduction standards, financial incentive structures for utilities, and provides mechanisms for utilities to recover costs associated with renewable energy investments. Additionally, the bill repeals several sections of the existing law related to clean energy plans and infrastructure, and its implementation is tied to the passage of a companion Senate bill. The overall intent appears to be providing more flexibility in renewable energy sourcing while maintaining a focus on cost-effectiveness and grid reliability.
