The legislature passed the Clean, Renewable, and Efficient Energy Act in 2008, which required utilities to generate 10% of their energy from renewables by 2015. That act was amended in December of last year to increase that to 15% by 2021. DTE and Consumers, the state's two largest utilities, had additional requirements. I know a lot of the other utilities are going in heavy on wind. Actually, most of DTE's renewable is actually wind. Wind farm construction in Mid/Central Michigan and the Thumb has been rising for years, now. If you're ever driving up US-127 north of Lansing, the Gratiot Wind Park is an amazing site up near Alma/St. Louis.
