Consumers Energy filed a new electric rate case on June 2, 2026, asking for a 456 million dollar revenue increase, about 9.8 percent more from residential customers, to cover a 12 month period ending April 2028. If approved as filed, a typical residential bill of about 155 dollars a month would rise by roughly 13 dollars. The case is still pending before the Michigan Public Service Commission with no decision date yet set.
What it means for your bill: This is a new, separate request on top of the rate increase that already took effect in May 2026; nothing has been decided yet.

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.
