In this policy memo, Sarah Mills and Madeline Krol from the University of Michigan’s Center for Empowering Communities provide feedback on the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) proposed implementation plans for PA 233. They highlight gaps in the current application process, recommending additional guidance where needed. A central concern they raise is the determination of “land dedicated to energy generation,” which will significantly influence how communities incorporate renewable energy into their land use strategies.
