The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, & Energy (EGLE) has launched a unique searchable zoning database of municipal ordinances across Michigan that address siting for renewable energy installations. The database is the first compilation of all renewable energy ordinances across the state and the first database of its kind in the nation.
Developed in collaboration with the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan, the database is an in-depth resource guide for municipalities developing ordinances or for developers looking to site wind, solar, or other alternative energy projects. At-a-glance maps updated in real time will help users to quickly determine which municipalities are primed for renewable energy development with existing ordinances.
