SUMMARY:Stop DTE's Rate Hike- MPSC In-Person Public Hearing
DESCRIPTION:DTE is getting ready to raise rates on residents AGAIN. They’ve done it MULTIPLE times over the past few years – let’s get together to stop them! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) is hosting an in-person hearing where residents can give public comment about DTE’s gas and electric rate hike. On Wednesday\, September 18th from 6-8 pm at Mumford High School\, 17525 Wyoming Ave.  \n\n\n\n\nTell DTE to STOP raising their rates! Share your public comment here.\n\n\n\n\nThis is a rare yet exciting opportunity for You to have your voice heard and for it to go on public record. DTE is asking for yet another rate hike to their gas and electric utility services as they’ve done year after year and this time they want a total of $722 Million\, a bill that residents like yourself will foot. We encourage and invite you to share your public comment and join us to voice why you believe DTE should not receive yet another rate increase.  \n\n\n\nAbout DTE’s rate hike: \n\n\n\nDTE 2024 Gas Rate Case (Case #U-21291) DTE seeks a rate hike to increase to gas rates of $266 M for safety and reliability investments and to compensate for reduced sales. DTE seeks an increase in their return on equity from 9.9% to 10.25%. It would cause a 9% increase in residential gas rates. A final decision from the Commission is likely to be made on the matter by December 2024. \n\n\n\nDTE 2024 Electric Rate Case (Case #U-21534) DTE seeks a $456.4 M electric rate increase and an additional ~$250 M in an Investment Recovery Mechanism primarily for electric distribution grid expenses. DTE seeks an increase in their return on equity from 9.9% to 10.25%. It would cause a 9.6% increase in residential electric rates. The Commission is reading the record of this case and is scheduled to issue a ruling on January 28th\, 2025. \n\n\n\nInvite your family\, friends\, and neighbors – we want to pack the house to stop the rate hike! Let’s stand in solidarity to stop DTE’s predatory practices.
