FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 9, 2021
Customer Assistance: 800-292-9555
The Michigan Public Service Commission today approved a partial settlement agreement involving DTE Electric Co. s renewable energy plan, including approval for the utility to increase its voluntary green pricing (VGP) program by 797 megawatts (MW) in 2022-2025, and add new VGP program offerings to provide low-income customers greater access to renewable energy.
The Commission approved the partial settlement, combining Case No. U-20713 (VGP) and Case No. U-20851 (renewable energy plan), along with approval of three solar contracts that supply electricity to customers through the company s VGP program, in which customers voluntarily specify a certain amount of electricity purchases to be from renewable energy resources, with costs of the program billed to participating customers.
