Michigan Power Customers Support Green Energy Through Monthly Fee
MLive.com reports that the Consumers Energy’s Green Generation program has gained the support of nearly 5,000 customers who purchase renewable energy through their utility, Consumer’s Energy. Through the program, Consumers Energy offers its customers options to pay a voluntary premium each month to support green energy efforts. Green energy for the program is generated by landfill gas suppliers and the utility also purchases electricity made by two wind turbines near Mackinaw City. New contracts for electricity purchases include a developing windmill project due for construction in 2007.
