Empowering Michigan Through Solar for All Program

Michigan is poised to benefit from significant funding under the federal Inflation Reduction Act’s Solar for All program, with over $156 million allocated specifically for the state. This funding presents a unique opportunity to expand access to solar energy within communities and households across Michigan. The program mandates a minimum of 20% savings on electricity bills for low-income households, emphasizing the importance of proper implementation by Michigan officials.

Guidelines for Successful Implementation

The Empower Michigan coalition, comprising various community and environmental organizations, has shared valuable resources on best practices for community engagement and program design with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). As EGLE finalizes its workplan and secures federal funding, it is crucial to prioritize community involvement and adhere to principles of energy justice and democracy.

Key recommendations from Empower Michigan include:

  • Collaborating closely with impacted communities in program design
  • Distributing funds to community-based cooperatives for community solar projects
  • Prioritizing low-income customers for solar benefits
  • Incorporating weatherization and efficiency measures for maximum impact

Promoting Community Solar Policy

Community solar initiatives play a vital role in enabling broader access to solar energy for customers who may not have the means to install rooftop solar panels. Empower Michigan’s recommendations underscore the importance of enacting community solar policies in Michigan to fully leverage the Solar for All program.

Currently, utilities in Michigan only offer community solar subscriptions for utility-owned projects, limiting customer participation. By allowing third-party owned community solar facilities, the state can unlock greater opportunities for individuals to benefit from solar energy.

Engaging Michiganders in the Process

As Michigan progresses with the Michigan Solar for All program, it is essential for residents to stay informed and actively participate in shaping the program’s outcomes. By signing up for updates on the program and advocating for equitable stakeholder outreach and program design, individuals can contribute to a more inclusive and effective solar energy initiative in the state.

Furthermore, urging legislators to support community solar policy in Michigan will be crucial in maximizing the impact of Solar for All funding and delivering tangible benefits to communities statewide.

Take Action Today

Michigan stands at a pivotal moment to transform its energy landscape through the Solar for All program. By engaging with stakeholders, supporting community solar policies, and advocating for equitable access to solar energy, residents can play a significant role in shaping Michigan’s clean energy future.

Stay informed about the Michigan Solar for All program and advocate for inclusive energy policies to create a more sustainable and equitable energy system for all Michiganders.
