(b) Provide greater energy security through the use of indigenous energy resources available within this state. (c) Encourage private investment in renewable energy and energy waste reduction. (d) Coordinate with federal regulations to provide improved air quality and other benefits to energy consumers and citizens of this state. (e) Provide more reliable and resilient energy supplies during periods of extreme weather. (3) Pursuant to the reconciliation processes provided for in this act, the commission shall determine the costs and savings resulting from compliance with the renewable energy, clean energy, and energy waste reduction programs required under this act and include those costs and savings in the determination of the rates charged to customers of the electric and natural gas providers. This section does not prohibit the commission from authorizing shared savings or incentive programs as provided for in this act.

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
