MI HR0407

Expresses support for construction of new electricity generating facilities in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to replace the Presque Isle Power Plant (PIPP), a 400+ megawatt coal-fired facility scheduled for closure in Marquette.

Opposes relying exclusively on transmission lines to import power from Wisconsin as an alternative, citing concerns about cost to consumers, economic growth inhibition, and insufficient capacity for future regional demand.

Supports investment in new generation facilities using natural gas, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy to maintain local jobs and regional control over electricity production.

Calls on energy companies to build new generating facilities in the Upper Peninsula and requests investor support for such projects.
