| Size of Award | Michigan's public benefits fund is known as the Low-Income and Energy Efficiency Fund (LIEEF) and is administered by the Michigan Public Service Commission. The purpose of the Fund is to: (1) Provide energy assistance for low-income customers; (2) Provide conservation and efficiency measures to reduce energy use and energy bills for low-income customers; and (3) Promote energy efficiency among all customers. The Michigan PSC will periodically issue RFPs for prospective projects to receive funding under the LIEEF. Guidelines require 75 percent of LIEEF funding to go towards grants for energy efficiency projects and energy assistance for low-income residents, while 25 percent will go toward grants for energy efficiency projects to support all customer classes. The following types of renewables/technologies are eligible for funding: photovoltaics, wind, CHP, anaerobic digestion, fuel cells, and biomass. |
