Support Community Solar in Michigan

Michigan families deserve the freedom to choose clean, affordable energy, and community solar makes that possible. Unfortunately, the lack of any legislation allowing it has given utility companies exclusive control over community solar projects, blocking local communities from creating their own renewable energy solutions.

This is wrong. Michigan residents have some of the highest electricity costs in the Midwest.  Enabling community solar in Michigan would be a game-changer for the average Michigander who wants access to clean and affordable renewable energy.

It would allow residents, regardless of homeownership, rooftop space, or those who are unable to afford rooftop solar, to participate and receive direct savings on their electricity bill. Community solar provides lower electric bills, clean energy, local jobs, long-term revenue opportunities, ownership for local communities, and a more resilient energy grid.

Contact your lawmaker today to express your support and urge them to take up and pass legislation this session.

I urge you to support community solar legislation this session to give renters, low-income families, and those without rooftop access the option to subscribe to solar and lower their bills. Right now, utility companies have a monopoly on community solar, blocking local solutions—this needs to change. Michiganders face some of the highest energy costs and poorest service in the Midwest. Expanding community solar would offer more choice, cut pollution, and lower bills with affordable clean energy. A Michigan State report found 900 MW of community solar could generate $1.4 billion in economic impact and create 18,500 jobs. This bipartisan issue empowers communities, creates jobs, and helps families and small businesses save. It’s time to give Michigan residents the freedom to choose cleaner, cheaper energy.
