Electric Customer Choice

Please note that, by law, participation in Michigan’s Electric Customer Choice program is limited to no more than 10% of our previous calendar year’s weather adjusted sales.

Currently there is a waiting list to switch electric suppliers. If you’re interested in being added to the list, please call us at 800-805-0490.

The current status and allotment of switching suppliers is shown below in megawatt-hours (MWh) and updated daily.

Review your options and consider your choices:

• Visit the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) website for a list of suppliers.
• Check your existing contract with your current supplier to see there are penalties for early termination.
• Choose a new supplier and contact them to begin service. The supplier will submit your enrollment on your behalf.
• You may switch suppliers once a month with proper notification. There is a $5.00 fee for each switch. A switch may only occur on the first day of a bill cycle.

If you have any questions, contact us.

PLEASE NOTE: Consumers Energy is not associated or affiliated with Alternate Electric Suppliers, and we do not recommend or endorse any of their products. If you purchase your electricity from an Alternate Electric Supplier, the price you pay will not be regulated by the MPSC.
