About Us

The Michigan Jobs & Energy Coalition (MJEC) was established in 2008 to seek passage of a comprehensive Michigan energy reform law. The MJEC and its members know an adequate supply of reliable and affordable electricity is critical to Michigan’s economy and quality of life.

The MJEC supports the timely implementation of the state’s 2008 comprehensive energy law, the construction of new baseload power plants and renewable energy facilities and energy policies that create jobs and improve Michigan’s economy.

The MJEC is comprised of Michigan’s major utilities, electric cooperatives and municipal electricity providers; major business organizations and industrial customers; labor organizations; economic development interests; and renewable energy and energy efficiency advocates, and many others.

Key members of the MJEC include the Michigan Chamber of Commerce; the Michigan Manufacturers Association; Protect Michigan (itself a coalition of the state’s major labor organizations), the Michigan Business and Professional Association; the Michigan Community Action Agency Association; Consumers Energy, DTE Energy, the Michigan Electric Cooperative Association (MECA); the Michigan Minority Business Development Council; the Michigan Municipal Electric Association (MMEA); the Detroit and Western Wayne County branches of the NAACP, the Detroit Regional Chamber and Detroit Renaissance.
