The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Any municipality which hosts or permitted for any portion of an eligible project may apply. An eligible project is a grid-connected wind, solar, or energy storage project in Michigan which received a land use permit or approved site use plan on or after October 1, 2023.
All projects must be at least 50 MW, unless any wind energy is involved, in which case a project must be at least 100 MW. All capacity values refer to nameplate capacity in alternating current.
Permitting is the procurement and approval of a land use permit or approved site use plan for the eligible project. Hosting is the containment of energy technology within the smallest involved municipality's boundaries.
Since this application may be completed before a project begins construction, hosting also refers to communities which expect to host, as per their relevant permitting documentation.
Applicants who both host and permit for their portion of an eligible project will receive $5,000 per MW they did so for. Applicants who either host or permit for their portion of an eligible project will receive $2,500 per MW they did so for. The maximum funding amount for a single project is $3,000,000. The total funding available is $30,000,000, awarded on a rolling basis.
50% of each award will be disbursed upon project construction. The remaining 50% will be disbursed upon project operation.
The specific quantity of megawatts permitted and/or hosted by a municipality will be provided by the project’s partnering renewable energy developer.
