MPSC Reports on the Status of Electric Competition in Michigan

As of December 2011, Consumers Energy had just over 1,000 customers participating in the electric choice program and Detroit Edison had approximately 6,000 choice customers participating. The electric choice programs for both companies were fully subscribed at the 10 percent cap throughout the year.

To date, Michigan remains one of 16 states that have full or limited restructuring of the competitive electric market. Compared to the restructured states, Michigan was benchmarked as having the fifth lowest average residential and industrial retail electric rates and the sixth lowest average commercial retail electric rates. In comparison to the 10 largest states, Michigan was benchmarked as having the fourth highest average retail electric rates for residential customers, the third highest for commercial customers and the fifth highest for industrial customers.

In 2011, the Commission issued numerous orders that adhere to the established framework for Michigan’s electric customer choice programs and support the provisions of Public Act 141 of 2000 and Public Acts 286 and 295 of 2008.
