Summary
On 19 February 2026 the Michigan Public Service Commission denied the Attorney General's petition for rehearing of its 6 November 2025 order in Case No. U-21859, which approved end-use-neutral large load terms in Consumers Energy's Rate GPD for loads of 100 MW or more. The Commission found the earlier order adequately explained its eligibility threshold and reserved jurisdiction.
What this does not establish
- This is a rehearing decision; the large load terms themselves are in the 6 November 2025 order, which is a separate record.
- The approved provisions are end-use neutral rather than limited to data centers.
- The effective date of the order is not stated in its text; the adoption date is the Commission meeting date.
- Whether any party appealed to the courts was not checked; courts.michigan.gov disallows automated access in its robots.txt.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
