Leelanau County was not on the list of recipients of grant funding through the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development program, which were announced Sept. 26.
Energy Futures Task Force (EFTF) Chairman Joe DeFors, who helped prepare the county’s application for funds through this program, said that MPSC has not yet indicated why the county was not awarded the grant. The Leelanau Enterprise has reached out to the MPSC to see if the decision was related to the public complaints against the task force.
“We’re unable to discuss the selection process for the renewable energy and electrification infrastructure grants,” MPSC Public Information Officer Matt Helms said. “The MPSC will, in the next couple weeks or so, post a full scoring sheet for all the applications we received.”
