Nov. 3rd membership meeting, Peter White Library presentation
on the UP Energy Task Force.
Members and guests had the opportunity to learn about the UP Energy Task Force created by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2019. Jenn Hill, Marquette City Commissioner and member of the UP Energy Task Force, presented the recommendations of the Task Force summarizing ten months of research, presentations and meetings conducted in the UP. The Task Force was created to assess the UP’s energy needs, find alternative solutions for meeting those needs with a focus on security, reliability, affordability, and environmental soundness, and ways to respond to foreseeable changes to energy supply and distribution.
