Michigan Resolution on Studying Rate Design Options

Michigan’s Senate Resolution 0142 (2020) encourages the Michigan Public Service Commission to undertake a study into alternative and innovative rate design options for Michigan’s electric customers. The study shall evaluate options based on factors such as customer charges, fixed charges, demand charges, time of use rates, standby charges, system access charges, and other regulatory mechanisms to provide equitable recovery of utility revenue requirements from customers adopting new energy technologies and address concerns regarding cross-subsidy issues. The study should be completed by October 31, 2021.
