LANSING -- Within eight years, 10 percent of the electricity sold to Michigan consumers would have to come from renewable energy sources such as wind under bipartisan legislation passed Wednesday by a state House committee.
The standard would be nearly triple by 2015 the amount of renewable energy now being sold by utilities and other power producers in the state.
Because renewable energy can be more expensive to produce, the higher standard could cost residential customers an extra $36 a year, commercial customers an extra $199 and industrial customers an extra $2,250.
