The Renewable Energy Academy (REA), a series of free workshops in select regions across Michigan providing local officials, zoning administrators, planning commissioners, planning staff, etc., with information to proactively prepare for the new siting landscape required under Public Act (PA) 233.
The REA will provide attendees with a five-hour long deep-dive into local planning and zoning for large, utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage systems. The academy will cover the basics of grid-connection, as well as specific zoning pathways communities can consider under PA 233. The academy will not focus on policy. It will provide neutral guidance and an opportunity to discuss zoning options that best reflect each community's interest in expanding access to renewable energy with EGLE staff.
