Consumer's Energy

Consumers had originally asked for permission to add a total of $278 million in additional charges to customers. The settlement brings that number down to $170 million. The average Consumers residential customer will see rates increase by 5.8%.

Consumers Energy says it will need from 60,000 to 70,000 acres of land to achieve its planned rollout of 8,000 megawatts of electricity from solar by 2040.

Environmental and ratepayer advocate groups largely praised the proposed settlement, noting that it puts Consumers on a faster track toward more renewable energy sources, primarily solar. The company says 90% of its energy generation will come from renewable sources by 2040.
