460.1072 Efficient electrification measures plan; health and safety benefits; calculation of reduction of energy consumption; recovery of costs.Sec. 72. (1) Beginning January 1, 2025, an electric provider may implement an efficient electrification measures plan under section 71(6). The efficient electrification measures under the efficient electrification measures plan shall provide health and safety benefits to occupants of the premises or satisfy all of the following: (a) Reduce total energy consumption at the premises. (b) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to energy use over the life of the electrification measure. (c) For residential and commercial customers interconnected at secondary voltage, provide annual average energy cost savings. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), reduction of energy consumption at the customer premises shall be calculated as the amount by which A exceeds B, where: (a) A equals the reduction in Btu consumption of fossil fuels as a result of electrification, converted to kilowatt-hour equivalents by dividing by 3,412 Btus per kilowatt hour. (b) B equals the increase in kilowatt hours of electricity consumption resulting from the displacement

trification, converted to kilowatt-hour equivalents by dividing by 3,412 Btus per kilowatt hour. (b) B equals the increase in kilowatt hours of electricity consumption resulting from the displacement of fossil fuel consumption as a result of electrification. (3) An efficient electrification measures program under subsection (1) shall not have the effect of increasing electric rates for customers that do not participate in the program. (4) An electric provider may recover the costs of an efficient electrification measures program. History: Add. 2023, Act 229, Eff. Feb. 13, 2024
