Grand Rapids, Mich., has authorized the state’s largest renewable energy purchase by enrolling in a utility green energy program.

The city commission approved a resolution, Nov. 27, to enroll in Consumers Energy’s Green Generation program. The move will allow the city to meet its goal of getting 20 percent of its electricity from Michigan-based renewable source by the end of 2008.

Consumers Energy, a subsidiary of Jackson, Mich.-based, CMS Energy Corp., serves more than 11,400 customers who participate in the voluntary green power program.
