AG Nessel has filed testimony in DTE’s latest electric rate hike case, urging the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to slash the utility’s proposed hike by 71%. Attorney General Nessel urges the MPSC to increase rates by no more than $134.5 million, cutting DTE’s requested 10% residential rate hike to 2%.  

“Throughout my nearly 8 years in office, DTE and Consumers Energy have consistently inflated their rate hike requests with unjustified costs. […] That’s long been their entire business model, and the MPSC is happily helping them along at the expense of ratepayers.” – AG Nessel
