Consumers Energy plans to more than double its power system capacity by 2040, combining renewable sources and natural gas, subject to approval by Michigan regulators, aiming to meet growing demand and comply with Michigan's 2023 clean energy law while controlling customer rate increases.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Consumers Energy’s expansion opens a large power market for renewables and natural gas suppliers in Michigan. You need to target utility project bids and construction supply chains as demand for both green and traditional energy grows.
