The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is hosting a series of virtual listening sessions on the priorities across the action areas included in the Michigan Healthy Climate Plan (MHCP) [ [link removed] ]. Building off previous work and input, we’re continuing to prioritize and deepen our work on implementation through these listening sessions. The intended audience is anyone interested in or who has experience with a climate action area of the MHCP. This includes local governments, state government, nonprofits, businesses, community members, etc.

Join us on November 20 to learn more about the state's goals for “Cleaning the Electric Grid,” including these priorities:


* Drive clean energy deployment including improving siting for renewable energy and energy storage across Michigan, including on brownfields and former industrial sites and emphasizing equitable access for Michigan’s low-income and disadvantaged communities.
* Invest in energy storage and necessary electric grid investments to enable earlier coal plant retirements and better integrate renewable energy into the electric grid.

We will start the session with an intro from our Office of Climate and Energy and then open it up for public comment, where those who wish to comment will have three minutes each. Input received in these sessions will serve to organize and influence near- and long-term greenhouse gas reduction measures.

Don't miss out! This is an excellent opportunity to share your input on the key strategies listed in the MI Healthy Climate Plan for the electric sector.
