The Michigan Public Service Commission has approved DTE Electric Co.’s revised voluntary green pricing program, which allows residential and small commercial customers to designate how much of the electricity they use is to be generated from renewable sources.

With the revisions, the Commission determined the MIGreenPower program now meets the criteria set in Section 61 of Public Act 342 of 2016 (Case No. U-18352). In October 2018, the MPSC has ordered DTE Electric to make changes to the program because of concerns the Commission had about cost, particularly for marketing and administration; pricing transparency; customer options; an enrollment cap; and a lack of expansion plans.

Under the revised program, customers who want their electricity generated by wind and solar resources will pay a subscription fee of 7.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. Those who want to exclusively use wind will pay a subscription fee of 2.3 cents per kilowatt-hour.

A cap on kilowatt hours was eliminated and more resources will be added when the program is at least 75 percent subscribed.

The PSC previously approved a pilot renewable energy program for large customers at DTE
