Energy Optimization Collaborative
Notice: MI Power Grid meetings and all other MPSC workgroup meetings will be conducted via teleconference only until further notice. Please find remote access information for upcoming meetings on our calendar of events. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act, Public Act 295 of 2008 as amended, established that energy optimization (EO) plans shall consist of energy waste reduction (EWR) plans and optional efficient electrification plans. The EO Collaborative (formerly known as the EWR Collaborative) facilitates collaboration between the various stakeholders consisting of state government, representatives of utilities, cooperative and municipal load serving entities, as well as contractors, program evaluators and implementers, energy efficiency advocates, low income representatives, and others.
The goals of the EO Collaborative include the following:
- Make recommendations for improving EO Plans for all providers.
- Provide program evaluation support and develop any needed re-design and improvements to energy efficiency programs.
- Update and refine the MEMD on the basis of actual experience.
- Promote economic development and job creation in Michigan by providing a forum to connect Michigan manufacturers, suppliers and vendors with EO programs.
