Who Can Apply and What Is Eligible
The MPSC seeks applications from businesses, nonprofits, state and local governments and Tribal governments. Eligible examples include electrification technologies, renewable energy systems, waste heat to energy, combined heat and power using wastewater biogas, EV charging infrastructure and renewable natural gas facilities. Public Act 21 of 2026 requires an opportunity for local governments, environmental groups and affected business interests to review all applications. The MPSC will post applications unredacted, followed by a 45-day review and comment period.
What It Means
Grant timelines like this run long, so site hosts should plan hardware and electrical capacity early. Networked AC units such as the EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station (two Type 2 connectors, OCPP 1.6J, RFID) and EV-ACT3204E 22 kW wallbox (RFID and app, CE) can be specified now. Browse our commercial charging solutions page or ask our team about the distributor program for project quantities.
