Decarbonizing Michigan's Industrial Sector: Part 3

2026-07-30T11:00:00 2026-07-30T12:00:00 Decarbonizing Michigan's Industrial Sector: Part 3

This session from Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) focuses on how utility rate structures influence industrial thermal decarbonization. Industrial electricity and gas rates play a central role in shaping project feasibility, cost competitiveness, and long-term planning for facilities pursuing lower-emission thermal technologies.

This session will provide an overview of how rate design affects industrial decision-making, including the ways certain rate structures can present challenges and how targeted reforms or utility programs can help accelerate progress. Presenters from RTC will discuss how manufacturers evaluate rates when assessing electrification and other renewable thermal options, and how industry can effectively engage with utilities and regulators.

Attendees will gain:

  • a practical understanding of the current rate landscape
  • The implications for project development
  • Emerging opportunities that can support Michigan facilities in advancing thermal decarbonization.

After registering, you will receive an email from "EGLE Outreach" with a link for you to use to join the webinar.

Accommodations deadline: Individuals needing language assistance or accommodations for effective participation should contact Joel Roseberry RoseberryJ@Michigan.gov by July 16 to request language, mobility, visual, hearing, translation, and/or other assistance.
