1
2027-2028 electric rate case Consumers Energy, MI
Pending Base rate case

This is a new, separate request on top of the rate increase that already took effect in May 2026. Michigan's Attorney General is now pushing to cut it by more than half; nothing has been decided yet.

+$13a month
2
2027 electric rate case DTE Electric, MI
Pending Base rate case

If approved as filed, this would be a bigger increase than the 4.1 percent DTE got approved in its last case; MPSC Staff and the state Attorney General both want the increase cut well below what DTE asked for.

+$12a month, est.

Recent decisions

Approved Base rate case, gas From Oct 2026

Your DTE natural gas bill is going up about 2.87 dollars a month starting October 1, 2026, with another 68 cents added in January 2027.

+$3a month
2026 electric rate case Consumers Energy, MI
Approved Rider or surcharge From May 2026

This funds grid hardening work, not data centers; a separate, larger Consumers Energy rate request was already filed for the following year.

+$6a month
Approved Base rate case From Mar 2026

This is one of the two annual cases that set what a typical DTE household bill looks like; the approved increase was about 58 percent smaller than DTE requested.

+$5a month
Approved Supply and capacity price Decided Nov 6, 2025

This does not change a typical home bill by itself, but it sets the rules meant to stop the cost of new data center power hookups from being spread across every Consumers Energy customer's rate.

On bills now Rate matter From Jan 2025

This does not change anyone's electric bill by itself; it is a state sales tax break for data center owners, separate from the MPSC cases that set how those same data centers pay for electricity. It applies statewide, regardless of which utility serves the site.
