A new report from 5 Lakes Energy highlights the positive impact of Michigan's #cleanenergy laws and the #InflationReductionAct, featuring one of Elevate’s projects with the Lac Vieux Desert tribe! "Our whole-home retrofit in Watersmeet, a town within the tribal land of Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, is a perfect example of what is possible with modern energy efficiency upgrades. We began with a house in need of serious and extensive repair, and were able to convert it into an energy efficient home with lower, more affordable energy costs. Michigan’s new energy waste reduction (EWR) standard will support many more projects like the one in Watersmeet across the state." - Brittany Turner, Associate Director of Tribal Programs at Elevate Read more about how local economies in #Michigan are benefitting from state and federal climate policies! https://lnkd.in/gpsv8aTc #MIEnergyMIJobs Michigan EIBC
