Lewis Milford: Michigan Renewables Cheaper than Coal: Another State Success Story.
A study found that renewables are cheaper than coal. Report on effectiveness of Michigan’s requirement for 10% of energy to be achieved through renewables showed:
- Generated over $100 million in investments in the state, spurred manufacturing, and created jobs.
- Created more than 100 megawatts of new renewable capacity in the state, putting it on track to meet its 10% requirement.
- Cost of these new renewable projects — including, wind, solar and hydro — is less than the cost of a new coal plant.
- Both DTE and Consumers Energy anticipate exceeding the laws target requirements for renewal production.
