Michigan Republican state Senator Roger Victory has introduced a bill to rein in electricity costs for businesses. He said this week the situation is out of control
“I’m introducing legislation today to allow industrial customers to purchase electricity from other providers,” Victory said. “Let me make that statement clear. To purchase electricity from other providers. This would give those customers the choice to build clean, renewable energy and control energy costs in a way they currently cannot.”
Victory, of Hudsonville, says the state’s rising electricity costs hamper the state’s economic competitiveness. Ford CEO Jim Farley cited electricity costs as a major reason to develop electric vehicle battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky.
