AG Nessel argues against natural gas rate hike from Consumers Energy
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel argues that Consumers Energy’s request for a natural gas rate hike should be reconsidered as a rate reduction instead.
This argument was presented to the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC).
Consumers Energy is seeking a $136 million rate increase, which would result in a 5.7% increase for residential customers and an 8.1% increase for small commercial customers, pending approval by the Commission.
Nessel’s office has requested that the rate hike be increased to approximately 5.3 million.
Consumers Energy requested a rate hike approximately one month after the MPSC approved their previous hike in natural gas rates.
