Abstract
(HB5927 · 103rd Legislature) Public utilities: electric utilities; net metering program for rooftop solar; provide for. Amends sec. 173 of 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1173) & adds sec. 173a. Sponsor: Rep. Reggie Miller (D) + 4 co-sponsors Latest action (2026-05-12): Rep. Tonya Myers Phillips Removed As Cosponsor 04/30/2026
Why this matters
Net metering determines how rooftop solar customers are compensated for excess generation exported to the grid, directly shaping the payback economics of residential and small commercial solar in Michigan. Reinstating or expanding a net metering program would shift cost allocation between solar adopters and non-solar ratepayers and affect utility distributed-generation planning under the 2008 PA 295 clean energy framework.
