The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today approved a settlement agreement authorizing Edison Sault Electric Company to implement its renewable energy plan (REP), its energy optimization (EO) plan, and its energy optimization surcharge, as required by Public Act 295 of 2008.

Because the utility does not expect to incur any additional costs under its REP, it did not request a REP surcharge.

The utility is authorized to implement the EO surchargebeginning July 1 and thereafter.  The average residential customer using 500 kilowatt-hours will see a monthly EO surcharge of 58 cents.

The utility and the MPSC staff participated in the settlement proceedings.

The MPSC is an agency within the Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth.

Case No. U-15807
