Kaitlyn Elias and Michael Vogt recently published an article, “Permitting Renewable Energy Projects in Michigan: An Overview and Update on the New State-Level Permitting Process,” for the Oakland County Bar Association's LACHES Magazine. The article explores the new process for developers to apply for siting certification from the Michigan Public Service Commission for utility-scale renewable energy projects. “The MPSC application requirements are extensive and necessitate significantly more preparation than what is required under a typical zoning ordinance — even when compared to ordinances with regulations specific to wind, solar, or battery storage,” they state.
