by amending section 432b (MCL 208.1432b), as added by 2008 PA 265.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec.
432b. (1) For tax years that begin beginning after
December 31, 2015 and ending before January 1, 2022, a qualified
taxpayer that has received a certificate under section 432 may
claim a credit equal to the product obtained by multiplying the
qualified consumption of electricity times the difference between
the projected cost of electricity and the guaranteed cost of
electricity.
(2) If the credit allowed under this section exceeds the tax
liability of the qualified taxpayer for the tax year, the qualified
taxpayer may elect to have that portion that exceeds the tax
liability of the qualified taxpayer refunded or to have the excess
carried forward to offset the tax liability in subsequent years for
10 years or until used up, whichever occurs first.
(3) As used in this section, "qualified consumption of
electricity" means up to 1,445,400 megawatt hours of electricity
consumed during the tax year at a facility described by an
agreement entered into under section 432.
