Michigan SB0477 amends the Public Utilities Act to establish rules for microgrids and alternative electric suppliers. The bill allows for the establishment of microgrids within the state, provided the entity serving more than one customer demonstrates any needed franchise rights. It ensures that interconnections for microgrids are uniform across all utilities. The bill also mandates that the Michigan Public Service Commission issue orders to establish rates, terms, and conditions for retail customers to take service from alternative electric suppliers.
