The Michigan PSC said that all electric providers in the state have demonstrated to the Commission that they have adequate electricity supplies to meet the needs of their customers for the 2022-23 planning year.

"The annual review by the MPSC ensures long-term reliability by verifying electric providers’ energy supply arrangements. Each investor-owned utility, alternative electric supplier, cooperative, and municipally-owned utility is required to demonstrate to the MPSC under Public Act 341 of 2016 that they own or have contracted for sufficient capacity. The capacity must meet obligations set by the Commission or the two regional transmission organizations -- Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc. and PJM Interconnection LLC -- in which Michigan participates. Companies in 2018 filed their four-year capacity demonstrations and the latest reports look at the fourth year ahead," the PSC said

After reviewing all company filings, Commission Staff reported MISO Local Resource Zone 7, which encompasses most of the Lower Peninsula, will have enough local resources and exceed its local clearing requirement in 2022-23 by 1,300 megawatts (Case No. U-20154). Staff also concluded MISO LRZs 1 and 2, which cover the Upper Peninsula, will have sufficient capacity in the same timeframe, as will the southwest corner of the state, which is in PJM territory, the PSC said

The PSC approved two discrete recommendations from Staff concerning the capacity requirement showings. The PSC approved minor changes to the reporting templates and also deferred any decisions related to altering capacity demonstration requirements related to aggregated demand response resources until the conclusion of the stakeholder activities in MPSC Case No. U-20348.
