Community solar comes to Michigan

LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Municipal League joined forces with the Michigan Community Solar Alliance backing community solar legislation.  Both are in support of a bill allowing community solar projects in Michigan.

A recent poll shows three out of four people support the idea.  Through community solar, customers are able to choose their energy source and will also receive cost savings on utility bills.

L’Anse Village Manager Robert LaFave said he encourages these types of programs in other parts of the state. LaFave added that if a rural community in the upper peninsula can do it, it can be done anywhere.
