All MPSC workgroup meetings are being conducted via teleconference. Remote access information for upcoming meetings is available on our calendar of events.
Public Act 235 establishes a renewable energy standard of 50% by 2030 and 60% by 2035. Electric Providers must file amended renewable energy plans by February 27, 2025 that include a forecast of resources that will be needed to comply with the standard.
On February 8, 2024, the Commission initiated Case No. U-21568 to begin implementation work related to the new Renewable Energy Standards.
In this Order the Commission set staggered schedules for the amended Renewable Energy filings pursuant to Section 22 of Act 235 and requested comments on seven topics. The staggered schedules are as follows:

Cooperatives, municipally owned utilities, and alternative electric suppliers filing no later than February 27, 2025.
On April 25, 2024, the Commission issued a subsequent order addressing the comments filed in response to the February 8, 2024, order in this docket and invited comments on the draft amended renewable energy plan filing requirements.
