With the proliferation of data centers, Michigan needs to take more action to meet its own clean energy targets and protect residential ratepayers from increased energy costs. That’s according to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Regulated utilities including Consumers Energy and DTE Energy will have to issues notices after March 2026 about how much their rate increase requests would cost each customer.

Attorney General Dana Nessel said during a rally that data centers proposed throughout Michigan could lead to a recession due to increased utility rates.

Attorney General Dana Nessel is asking the Michigan Public Service Commission to reconsider a set of rules for large-scale Consumers Energy electricity customers, including data centers.

Residents attended a protest in Detroit and a virtual public hearing to demand more scrutiny towards DTE's proposal to power a 1.4 gigawatt data center coming to Saline Township.

As data centers proliferate across the Great Lakes, driven by AI’s soaring demands, communities face a dual reality: economic growth and environmental challenges.

A public hearing is scheduled as DTE Energy tries to fast-track approval for its plan to provide power for a massive new data center. Michigan's utility regulator calls it transparency. The state attorney general calls it "performative listening."

The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a 8.1% rate hike for CMS natural gas customers. The increase in monthly bills will begin in November.

On Thursday, the Michigan Public Service Commission approved raising the bill credit to $42 per day for customers who endure prolonged or frequent power outages.

The Department of Energy extended its 90-day order another 90 days to require Consumers Energy to keep an aging coal-burning power plant running, despite state's assessment it's not needed.
