Michigan offers a limited deregulated electricity program that allows up to 10% of utility load to participate in competitive supply. If your business qualifies for Michigan’s choice program, you can lock in competitive commercial electricity rates and customized contract terms.
How Partial Deregulation Works in Michigan
Utilities such as DTE Energy and Consumers Energy continue to deliver electricity, but a small share of customers can select an alternative electric supplier (AES) to set the supply rate. Participation is capped at 10% of each utility’s load; once the cap is filled, new applicants join a waiting list. Deregulated service areas include Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Flint, Kalamazoo, Warren, and other cities where the choice program is available.
