Reliable, sustainable and efficient energy is essential to our quality of life and the economic viability of Michigan and our nation.
The rapid development of renewable energy, including wind and solar, highlights the need for expanding the high-voltage transmission system to deliver clean renewable energy to the markets where it's needed.
Michigan, along with more than half the states in the U.S., has adopted a renewable portfolio standard which requires electricity providers to obtain a minimum percentage of their power from renewable energy resources.
ITC Vice President Tom Vitez, a leading expert in transmission planning, will discuss requirements for renewable energy here in Michigan. As vice president of planning, Vitez heads ITC's planning organization where he is responsible for overall system planning for ITC and its subsidiaries. He was appointed to Michigan?s Wind Energy Resources Board in 2008 and serves on a variety of industry working groups and panels.
