DTE plans to file a $474M rate case in Michigan this week—but a rate freeze could follow. (Utility Dive)
The utility said it would freeze rates for two years as long as 1) certain customer projects come online as planned and 2) certain regulatory approvals are received.
Keep in mind: Utilities in Michigan can file new rate cases every year, but a state-level proposal is looking to enact a three-year minimum between rate cases (thank customer backlash for that one). DTE has filed five cases in the last seven years.
