Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has asked the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to reconsider its recent approval of DTE contracts for a massive artificial intelligence data center planned in Washtenaw County.

DTE Energy is warning customers across Southeast Michigan to prepare for additional power outages as strong winds move through the region following last week’s ice storm.

The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a controversial power deal for a data center in Saline Township.

The Michigan Public Service Commission is set to hold a public hearing next month to get feedback from residents on DTE Energy’s application for approval of contracts for a massive AI data center in Washtenaw County.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel successfully argued before the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to disallow DTE Electric’s attempted cost recovery of $33,774,728, as per an order issued last week.

DTE Energy announced that $100 million is being invested into three new electric substations in Metro Detroit as the company works to reduce the frequency and duration of power outages.

State officials did an audit of the equipment used by DTE Energy and Consumers Energy and found several issues that contribute to outages and high costs.

The rate hike comes four months after the utility was approved to increase its rates by $368 million.

A Michigan commission approved a new $368 million rate increase for DTE Electric customers, which likely means you’ll be paying more soon.

A $30.5 million rate increase was approved for DTE Electric on Friday, a hike set to take effect on Nov. 25.

The Michigan Public Service Commission ordered an audit of the state’s biggest utility companies in response to lengthy power outages and downed power line incidents this summer.

LAKANADTE Gas customers will see a very small monthly credit on their bills starting in September and lasting for more than 20 years. The Michigan Public Service Commission today approved monthly decreases for DTE Gas Co. customers to reflect the impact lower federal corporate tax rates have on the companys long-term investments. A residential customer who uses 10,000 cubic feet of natural gas a month will receive a 58-cent monthly credit on their bill beginning in September. And on average, customers would see a total refund of about $180 over that time. MPSC approved refunds of $2.12 a month for DTE Gas customers in May 2018 and refunds of $2.21 a month in October 2018.
