Description
Description | State Rep. Donavan McKinney proposed legislation to create a legal structure for community solar programs in Michigan. The programs allow residents to subscribe to solar panel arrays built on brownfields, rooftops, parking lots, or unused land and receive credits on their energy bills. The legislation focuses on supporting low-income households, renters, condo owners, and local ownership by schools, churches, farms, nonprofits, and small businesses. It mandates utilities to connect community solar projects to the grid and requires projects over 1 megawatt to use project labor agreements, hire union apprentices, and pay prevailing wages. |
