The Alliance submitted public comments to the MPSC that urge the MPSC to review each Michigan utility’s standby tariffs to ensure equitable revenue allocation and rates which are correlated to cost of service. The Alliance also supports the adoption of the model tariff put forth by the Midwest Cogeneration Association. Such a model tariff would help Michigan utilities achieve fair rates, accurate cost recovery, and reductions in peak load.
Twelve manufacturers, developers, and institutions also delivered a letter to the Michigan Public Service Commission in support of fair and reasonable standby rates.
