Solar Energy Applications Now Open for Consumers Energy Residential Customers
SAGINAW -- Beginning Tuesday, residential electric customers served by Consumers Energy can submit applications to participate in the utility's Experimental Advanced Renewable Program.
This program allows electric customers to sell the output of customer-owned solar generating systems to Consumers Energy for a fixed price over a contract length of 15 years.
Applications for this next phase of the EARP must be submitted by May 3.
Consumers Energy's EARP website provides information on this renewable energy program. That address is: www.consumersenergy.com/EARP
About 115 Michigan residents are currently participating in Consumers Energy's Experimental Advanced Renewable Program.
