Consumers Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan settlement agreement has been filed with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC). MPSC staff and stakeholders, from non-profits to developers within the renewable sector, worked to develop the settlement which was broken down into five categories, and has brought Michigan to a tipping point in renewable development.
