Consumers Energy announced that it is proposing to the PSC a program to offer large businesses 100 percent renewable energy.

Consumers Energy said that the new Switch Pyramid data center in West Michigan (Grand Rapids) would be the first customer under the program

In a news release, Consumers Energy described the program as follows:

"The proposed program offers a blueprint for Switch and other businesses that make renewable energy commitments.

-- Those businesses would help defray the costs for new renewable energy sources.

-- This would result in new renewable energy in Michigan, in addition to the 10 percent of Consumers Energy's energy supply that already comes from clean sources.

-- This is a pilot program that could be expanded if there's enough customer interest."

"In short, the new program helps entities like Switch adhere to the renewable principles of additionality (new renewable resources) and locality (resources that benefit the regional grid)," Consumers Energy said
