Michigan Set to Enact Major Climate Bills with Efficiency and Electrification Boost

Michigan’s ambitious new climate laws will advance energy efficiency and building electrification, with an extra focus on serving low-income households, alongside strong renewable energy and workforce provisions.
After a marathon session, the Michigan legislature passed a sweeping five-part legislative package last week that will make the state a national leader in saving energy and reducing climate pollution. This comprehensive set of legislation includes dramatic increases in renewable electricity generation, significant strengthening of utility energy efficiency requirements, and a first big step toward converting buildings from fossil fuels to electricity.
