Renewable Energy Technologies

As America’s demand for electricity increases exponentially, so too must we find expansion opportunities in wind, solar and other renewable energies, as well as innovations in our systems and infrastructure to accommodate them. The increasing cost of other fuels and new infrastructure has made these technologies more affordable than ever before.

With the help of NextEnergy and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), key Michigan stakeholders continue to advance the research, development, commercialization and manufacture of technologies in this emerging industry.
