Allows qualified transmission companies to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity for major transmission lines.
This bill amends the Michigan Public Service Commission Act to allow qualified transmission companies to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity for major transmission lines. It defines "major transmission line" as a transmission line of 5 miles or more in length wholly or partially owned, carrying electricity at system bulk supply voltage of 100 kilovolts or more. The act specifies that the certificate does not apply to municipal utilities, affiliated transmission companies, or independent transmission companies.
