Michigan lawmakers grilled DTE and CMS Energy officials over their efforts to restore power following storms that slammed the state in February and March.

Consumers Energy and DTE Energy are on the hot seat after weather-related outages that affected as many as 1 million Michigan customers since February.

DTE Energy will need substantial customer rate increases to keep up with its mounting grid reliability and clean energy investments, executives said.

Michigan utilities would have to provide more transparency on their spending to influence rate cases under regulations proposed by the attorney general.

DTE Energy unveiled its latest proposed integrated resource plan, pledging to end its use of coal by 2035 and go carbon free by 2050.

DTE Energy executives promised a more aggressive clean energy transition during a third quarter earnings call.

MISO remains committed to beefing up and making information from its generation retirement studies more public.

Stakeholders are seeking a FERC rehearing of MISO’s seasonal auction design, while the RTO wants it to reconsider its minimum capacity obligation.

Michigan lawmakers proposed new consumer protections against utility blackouts, requiring customer credits that would increase the longer an outage lasts.

MISO’s subregional cost allocation plan for its long-range transmission projects found both devotees and critics at FERC this week.
