The Michigan Public Service Commission reminded Michigan businesses and residents that, "Michigan’s natural gas price comparison website [CompareMIGas] is a valuable resource to help them make informed decisions when choosing a natural gas provider or evaluating their current rates."
"The MPSC is encouraged that hundreds of thousands of people have visited the CompareMIGas website since it was launched in October 2015," the PSC said
"The website features the rates currently offered by all alternative gas suppliers actively marketing or enrolling customers in Michigan, as well as the basic terms and conditions of offers. The website also features the current MPSC-regulated gas cost recovery rates charged by the four natural gas utilities that offer natural gas choice in their service territories: DTE Gas Company, Consumers Energy Company, SEMCO Energy Gas Company and Michigan Gas Utilities Corporation," the PSC said
As of September, 363,690 customers statewide participated in the Gas Customer Choice Program.
About 76 percent of Michigan households heat with natural gas.
"If you’re considering purchasing your natural gas through an alternative gas supplier, be sure to shop around.
