100% of available funds for the CI Prescriptive Electric Program have been paid or reserved. All new prescriptive electric applications will be placed on a waiting list.
Both Consumers Energy and DTE Energy in Michigan are currently offering incentives to plastics manufacturers who take action to control their energy consumption. Both of these electricity providers offer an array of prescriptive incentives that are very easy to take advantage of.
They also both offer custom programs for projects that are not already outlined in their custom program listings.
Take advantage now, because these programs each run on a budget and funds are allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
