The Michigan Public Service Commission announced today it has received and publicly posted proposals submitted for nearly $5 million in grants through a renewable energy and electrification infrastructure enhancement and development grant program and now seeks public input on the applications.
The MPSC in January issued a request for proposals for $4.875 million in Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development grants, with a March 20 deadline for applications. The RFP meets the requirements of Public Act 121 of 2024, under which the Legislature directed the MPSC to develop the grant program.
The grant program is for businesses, nonprofit organizations, units of local and state government and Tribal governments to fund planning, developing, designing, acquiring or constructing of renewable energy and electrification infrastructure projects.
The Commission received 76 proposals from 35 organizations. The proposals are posted at the MPSC’s grant proposals webpage, where interested parties and the general public may review and comment on the submissions. Public Act 121 requires the MPSC to allow the opportunity for all applications for this grant to be reviewed by local units of government, environmental groups, and business interests directly affected by the proposal. The MPSC also encourages all other interested persons directly affected by the proposals to review the applications and provide feedback.
All applications have been posted in unredacted form. After a 45-day review period, applicants will have a 15-day window to modify their proposal based on the comments received and resubmit, if desired. The final deadline for revised or modified proposals is May 27, 2025. Modified proposals must be submitted to LARA-MPSC-Grants-Administration@michigan.gov, and the email should explain that the proposal has been modified. Modified proposals will be posted to the grant webpage.
The MPSC anticipates notifying selected grant recipients of their award status in October. The anticipated grant start date is Jan. 1, 2026.
