MPSC Directs Detroit Edison Company Not to Implement Provisionally Approved Rate Realignment Adjustment

Contact:  Judy Palnau (517) 241-3323


September 15, 2009

The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today directed The Detroit Edison Company not to implement the rate realignment adjustment surcharges/credits on Oct. 1 that were provisionally allowed for in the utility's last rate case (Case No. U-15244). 

Public Act 286 of 2008 requires that retail rates for electric utilities in Michigan based on the cost to serve be phased in over a five-year period beginning Jan. 1, 2009 and ending Oct. 6, 2013.  In the utility's last rate case, the Commission provided for the implementation of the rate realignment effort on Oct. 1 each year, beginning Oct. 1, 2009.

The utility on Sept. 11 filed a motion with the Commission seeking guidance on whether it should commence the next phase of its rate realignment on Oct. 1.

Today's order directs the utility not to implement the rate realignment adjustment surcharges/credits on Oct. 1 that were provisionally allowed for in the Commission's Dec. 23, 2008 order in Case No. U-15244.

The rate realignment adjustment will be dealt with in the final order on Detroit Edison's pending rate case (Case No. U-15768).

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

Case Nos. U-15244 and U-15768
