AI Summary
This bill requires the Michigan Public Service Commission to develop an online transparency tool by December 31, 2026, that calculates the comprehensive costs of renewable energy systems for customers over their entire operational lifetime. The tool must detail both the initial construction costs (including site acquisition, construction, component, assembly, grid connection, and maintenance expenses) and end-of-life costs (such as decommissioning, component disposal, and site remediation). The bill defines renewable energy and renewable energy systems by referencing existing state law, specifically the Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act. By mandating this transparent cost calculation tool, the bill aims to provide customers with a complete financial picture of renewable energy projects, showing not just the upfront expenses but also the long-term economic implications of renewable energy investments, including the costs associated with system removal and site restoration.
