The bill amends the Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act by introducing new definitions and provisions related to efficient electrification measures and locally distributed shared solar facilities (LDSS). It defines "efficient electrification measures" as electric appliances or equipment that replace fossil fuel combustion in existing buildings, and establishes a framework for promoting these measures through plans and programs. Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, Part 9, which outlines the requirements and regulations for LDSS facilities, including the generation of electricity through solar photovoltaic devices, subscriber participation, and the calculation of bill credits for subscribers based on their electricity usage.

Key provisions include the establishment of a bill credit system for subscribers of LDSS facilities, ensuring that low-income households have access to subscriptions, and requiring electric providers to facilitate the interconnection of these facilities to the electrical grid. The bill also mandates that the Michigan Public Service Commission develop rules to support the implementation of LDSS facilities, including consumer protections and the establishment of applicable bill credit rates. Furthermore, it specifies that third-party developers must meet certain criteria to operate LDSS facilities, including providing minimum bill savings for subscribers and allowing subscription terminations without penalties.
