Limited but valuable retail choice for qualifying commercial customers. DTE and Consumers Energy territories have 10% cap on competitive supply.
Michigan law limits each utility's competitive supply to 10% of their retail load. This creates a waitlist system—large commercial customers (>1MW) typically get priority. If you're eligible, the savings can be significant. Contact us to check availability.
Unlike the capped electricity market, Michigan's natural gas market is fully open to choice (Gas Customer Choice Program) for all commercial customers in DTE (MichCon) and Consumers Energy territories.
Michigan benefits from massive underground gas storage capacity, which helps buffer prices against short-term volatility better than many other regions.
The Gas Customer Choice Program allows you to lock in a fixed rate for the gas commodity. With MichCon rates often fluctuating, a 12-24 month fixed contract provides budget certainty.
