The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a net 74.52 million dollar rate increase for DTE Gas on September 10, 2026, effective October 1, 2026, about 54 percent less than the 162.7 million dollar net increase DTE requested. A typical residential customer will see about 2.87 dollars more a month, plus a separate 68 cent infrastructure recovery surcharge starting January 1, 2027. The commission also raised DTE's Low-Income Assistance Credit from 40 to 58 dollars a month and directed the company to improve outreach about assistance programs.

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.
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.
