LANSING – In an effort to advocate for Michigan customers, four groups announced today they are joining Attorney General Dana Nessel’s actions to intervene in Consumers Energy’s proposal to raise electric rates in Michigan.
The groups intervening include: Citizens Utility Board of Michigan, Michigan Environmental Council, Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council.
“Consumers Energy continues to attempt to raise rates on Michigan residential customers with little regard for people’s ability to pay their monthly electric bills in this time of economic stress,” said Amy Bandyk, executive director for Citizens Utility Board of Michigan. “Consumers just raised monthly electric bills three months ago — in the midst of a recession and pandemic. Michigan consumers need a break.”
