Michigan State Profile
Last Updated: 9/15/26 — Updated Monthly
STATE OF PLAY
As of July 2026, Michigan ranked 15th in the nation for clean energy deployment, with over 13 GW of operating clean energy capacity and 4.3 GW of additional capacity planned. Michigan’s clean energy industry employs over 127,000 workers, an increase of over 13% since 2020. Michigan is also home to 84 planned or operating data centers, and the state’s utilities have projected that data centers would account for up to 70% of growth demand. Despite Michigan’s strong clean energy economy, Trump and Republicans have threatened over 7,600 clean energy jobs, threatened the loss of 4.4 GW of new energy generation needed to meet rising demand, and led to energy costs increasing by 24%.

The project was also expected to support hundreds of jobs during construction and create 15 full-time jobs. | 15 | – | Canceled |
| Navitas Systems Laid Off Staff In Ann Arbor | In May 2026, Navitas Systems filed a WARN notice informing the state of Michigan that it plans to lay off 82 employees. The company will also close one or two of its facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A spokesperson for East Penn Manufacturing Co., which owns Navitas Systems, said the changes were part of the company’s reorientation of the “lithium side of the business.” Navitas manufactures lithium-ion batteries. | 82 | – | Layoffs |
| SK Siltron CSS Closed Its Bay County Manufacturing Facility | In July 2026, SK Siltron announced it was winding down the SK Siltron CSS subsidiary and closing its Bay City, Michigan plant, citing “significant shifts in the electric vehicle market.” This shift in the electric vehicle market likely refers to Trump’s cancellation of the $7,500 EV Tax Credit. A company spokesperson confirmed that the wind-down would affect all 140 employees, and that “most employees would be terminated in about 60 days.” The company manufactured silicon carbide wafers for electric vehicles. SK Siltron received a $544 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office to expand manufacturing, but the company said it paid off the loan earlier in July. | 140 | $544 million | Layoffs |

STATE CLIMATE DISASTERS
- Between 2010 and 2024, Michigan saw 39 billion-dollar extreme weather disasters, totaling up to $10 billion in damages. From January through June 2025, Michigan has had five billion-dollar extreme weather disasters, totaling up to $2 billion in damages. In the past decade, Michigan has received $1,107,521,979 in FEMA disaster assistance funding.
- The Great Lakes are among the fastest-warming lakes in the world. Great Lakes basin-wide ice cover has decreased by 25% since 1973, impacting lake water levels, lake-effect snow, ecosystems, recreation, and cultural heritage.
- In the last decade, Michigan has experienced three $1 billion severe flooding events that caused a total of $15.9 billion in damages and nine deaths.
- A 2024 study found that up to 3.2 million Michiganders, one-third of state residents, received their water from aquifers containing PFAS, including 1.8 million customers of public drinking water supplies.
- Parks are crucial to Michigan’s economy, with 2.9 million visitors spending approximately $301 million in 2024. Michigan is home to five National Parks, whose landscapes will be drastically altered by climate change, including the impacts of extreme heat, within the next few decades.
- Climate change is projected to cause a 1.58% loss in crop yields in Michigan, including a 19% loss in grains. Increased frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall in Michigan threaten the state’s agriculture industry by delaying planting and reducing yield losses.
