THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 432d. (1) For the 2023 tax year, a qualified taxpayer

 

that has received a certificate under section 432 may claim a

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.
