Proposed rate hike would raise bills by $13.50 a month
MICHIGAN — The commission is currently reviewing DTE’s proposal to raise rates by $574 million, more than double what the company was granted just months ago. If approved, the average customer’s monthly bill would increase by $13.50.
“These rate increases are really choking our people,” said Roslyn Ogburn, a fourth-generation Detroiter and partnership coordinator for the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. “We’re telling the Michigan Public Service Commission to stop the rate increase and come up with better solutions. Do not put another burden on the back of the people.”
