Public utilities: consumer services; community solar facilities; require MPSC to promulgate rules concerning. Amends 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1001 - 460.1232) by adding secs. 245 & 247. TIE BAR WITH: SB 518'25

SB 519 requires Michigan's Public Service Commission to create rules enabling community solar programs. It mandates that at least 30% of electricity from each facility must serve low-income households or organizations, ensures subscribers can transfer their solar credits when moving within the same utility area, and prevents utilities from changing a customer's rate class for joining solar programs. The bill also establishes bill credit rates based on utility rates (excluding distribution costs) to ensure all customer groups can access community solar. These rules directly affect electric providers, low-income households, and all Michigan residents who may subscribe to community solar facilities.
