Additional notes: Carbon offsets: The company recently received regulatory approval for a new program for residential and business customers who want to voluntarily offset carbon emissions from their natural gas use by investing in projects that help Michigan forests reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "Launched four new Renewable Energy Credit pilots in 2021, which provided an expanded set of options for business customers to get renewable energy credits from Michigan and national resources. The new Michigan REC pilot is also available to residential and business customers who choose to match a portion (or all) of their electric use with renewable energy credits."
