Reminder to register for the MI Solar for All Community Engagement and Workforce Development Session

February 27, 6:00 PM

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is hosting a series of listening sessions on the MI Solar for All Program. The MI Solar for All program will support residential and community solar deployment to serve low-income Michiganders (defined as households earning no more than 80% of area median income or 200% of the federal poverty level, whichever is higher), with a goal of providing participants an average 20% reduction in electricity bills. The MI Solar for All program will invest in:

• residential roof top solar,
• residential serving community solar,
• enabling upgrades,
• associated storage,
• community assistance, and
• workforce development and training.

The public is invited to participate in a series of virtual listening sessions on considerations in designing the MI Solar for All program and its program offerings, as well as prioritization criteria. Input will help inform the development of MI Solar for All program offerings and project selection.

The intended audience is anyone interested in or who has experience relevant to the MI Solar for All program. This includes low-income Michiganders; other community members; community-based organizations and nonprofits; businesses working with solar, storage, or home repair/energy efficiency; local governments; K-12 schools and higher education; utilities; and state government.
