- Attorney General Dana Nessel says she plans to intervene in DTE’s latest attempt at a rate increase
- The company is seeking a $456.4 million rate hike, which would cost residential customers an extra $11 a month on average
- Its request comes months after the company was approved for a $368 million rate increase that went into effect in December
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has taken action by filing a notice of intervention with the Michigan Public Service Commission in response to DTE Energy’s recent endeavor to raise rates.
DTE, a company based in Detroit, is currently requesting a rate increase of $456.4 million. If granted, this increase would take effect in January 2025. It is worth noting that just a few months ago, the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) approved a rate increase of $368 million for DTE, which became effective in December.
DTE claims that it requires the extra revenue to finance infrastructure investments aimed at reducing outages and expediting the delivery of cleaner energy to the state. According to the company, the rate hike would amount to less than 37 cents per day for residential customers, averaging around $11 per month.
