Michigan regulators have adjusted what the utilities will pay for power generators that meet the qualification established under PURPA.

In most cases, it was lowered to reflect the actual costs utilities pay today.

However, in lowering the avoid cost existing PURPA qualifying power plants will get paid less.

Avoided costs rate had not been changed in Michigan since the 1980s. An update was overdue.

Solar and wind advocates believe the new rates will encourage large scale renewable energy in the state.
