MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) – Three communities in Mid-Michigan will receive state funding for hosting renewable energy and energy storage projects.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy announced a seventh round of Renewables Ready Communities Awards. Nine communities will receive a share of $3.87 million, including three in Mid-Michigan:
“These awards demonstrate EGLE’s commitment to partnering with communities to build Michigan’s clean energy future,” said Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy Director Phil Roos.
Each community will receive half of their grants up front and the second half after the projects they are hosting begin operations. The state money can be spent on public safety, general government services or infrastructure projects.
Michigan offers the Renewables Ready Communities program as an incentive for communities to approve renewable energy projects in their jurisdictions.
