Data released by the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) shows that although only 3.63 percent of Michigan’s electricity was produced by renewable energy projects in 2009, the state’s electricity providers are on target to meet the 10 percent RPS requirement by the 2015 deadline. The measurement was made by comparing renewable energy credits to average retail sales. The report indicated:

• Consumers Energy has contracts for 396 MW of renewable energy: 8 MW already in commercial operation, with 388 MW more to be in commercial operation by the end of 2012.
• Detroit Edison has contracts for 252 MW of renewable energy: 44 MW already in commercial operation, with 208 MW more to be in commercial operation by the end of 2011.
