Abstract
(HB6011 · 103rd Legislature) Businesses: other; cybersecurity requirements for large-scale solar energy facilities; provide for. Amends 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1001 - 460.1232) by adding sec. 112a.

Why this matters
Large-scale solar is a growing share of Michigan’s generation mix under the 2008 PA 295 clean-energy framework, and a cybersecurity mandate would impose new compliance obligations on developers and operators of those facilities. For ratepayers and utilities, the proposal signals that grid-security expectations are extending beyond traditional utility infrastructure to renewable generation assets, potentially affecting project costs and interconnection standards.
