 EGLE to host Renewable Energy Academy January 29th at Treetops Resort in Gaylord
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is thrilled to announce that the Renewable Energy Academy (REA) is hosting a workshop in Northeast Michigan Region to provide local officials, planning commissioners, and/or planning staff with the information needed to prepare for the new siting landscape that came into effect November 29, 2024. The workshop will be a four-hour long deep-dive into planning and zoning for large, utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage systems, from the basics of grid-connection to the specific zoning pathways each community should consider.
This workshop will not be focusing on policy and rather is meant to provide neutral guidance and spark discussions around what options best reflect your municipality’s interests. The workshop is free and the intended audience includes local government officials, planning commissioners, and planning staff.
Agenda
The REA runs from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and is immediately followed by an optional "office hour" session with EGLE staff. Lunch is complimentary and REA topics that will be covered include:
