In this neutral testimony to the Michigan Senate Energy and Environment Committee, Sarah Mills emphasizes the importance of expanding opportunities for renewable energy projects of all sizes when setting policies to meet the targets set by PA 235 of 2023. She points to research on the social acceptance of smaller-scale projects, such as community and rooftop solar, and their ability to distribute energy infrastructure impacts more equitably across communities. Mills explains that such projects, along with microgrids and distributed energy solutions, can enhance grid resilience and allow more communities to benefit from renewable energy, helping to create a more equitable and sustainable energy landscape.
