With recommendations on propane availability in the Upper Peninsula being finalized for submission to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the U.P. Energy Task Force is launching the second phase of its analysis of the U.P.’s energy needs now and in the future. The Task Force will meet 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, April 13 via video conference. The meeting is open to the public. At the meeting, the Task Force will finalize its propane recommendations with a deadline of April 17 to submit the report to the governor.

Next the Task Force will begin its discussions about how to fulfill the governor’s request to formulate alternative solutions for meeting the U.P.’s energy needs, with a focus on security, reliability, affordability and environmental soundness. The governor also asked the Task Force to identify and evaluate potential changes that could occur to energy supply and distribution in the U.P.; the economic, environmental and other impacts of such changes; and alternatives for meeting the U.P.’s energy needs due to such changes.
