The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today announced that it will host a series of consumer forums throughout Michigan in September and October. The forums are designed to
give consumers the latest information on electric and natural gas rates for the winter and the status of local and long distance telephone service.
"As winter approaches, my colleagues and I believe it is important for Michigan utility customers to prepare for winter heating bills," said MPSC Chairman Orjiakor Isiogu. "We want customers to be aware of assistance programs and conservation measures they can take, as well as the availability of new energy optimization programs to help lower bills. We welcome the opportunity to meet customers to discuss these issues and hear their comments on other utility matters that concern them."
One of the MPSC's three Commissioners - Chairman Isiogu, Commissioner Monica Martinez, or Commissioner Steven A. Transeth - will be available at each forum to discuss these issues, explain how the Commission makes decisions, and listen to questions and comments regarding utility service.
Following is information on each upcoming consumer forum:
