U.P. Energy Task Force holding working session Tuesday in Marquette

MARQUETTE, MI--   The U.P. Energy Task Force is meeting in Marquette Tuesday. 

The working session will take place from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. in NMU's Harden Hall (the library building) room 109. It will include the opportunity for public comment.

The group is tasked with assessing the U.P.’s energy needs and how they’re being met, then formulating alternative solutions for meeting those needs.

The Task Force must submit a plan for supplying propane to the U.P. by means other than Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline to Governor Whitmer by March 31. A final report is due March 31, 2021.
