Well it looks like your consumers energy utility bill is about to go up next year.

The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a rate increase of just over $27-million dollars on Wednesday.

What does that mean for your wallet? a typical residential customer who uses 500 kilowatt hours of electricity per month will see an increase of 59 cents (0.64%) on their monthly bill starting in January 2022.

The rate increase that was approved was 88% less than what Consumers presented for approval.
