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.
