Alternative Energy Resources in Michigan!

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth are leading the effort to develop more initiatives focused on manufacturing and business attraction through improved environmental performance.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) is the one-stop business assistance resource for any company already in Michigan or considering a location in the State providing services such as site location selection, permitting assistance, employee recruitment and training, and business incentives.  MEDC also houses a wealth of information on Michigan industries including an on-line business guide which lists alternative energy businesses in the State of Michigan.

The Michigan NextEnergy Authority (MNEA) was created to promote the development of alternative energy technologies and to provide tax incentives for business activities and property related to research, development, and manufacturing of those technologies.

The State of Michigan Energy Office promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy resource development to Michigan's residents, businesses, and public institutions. Located within the Energy Office, the goal of the Michigan Biomass Energy Program (MBEP) is to encourage increased production and use of energy derived from biomass resources through program reports, partnerships, technical assistance, and education.
