Lansing, MI — Just five days after state regulators approved a $242.4 million electric rate hike, DTE Energy has formally announced plans to seek yet another increase.

A “Filing Announcement” submitted February 24 to the Michigan Public Service Commission indicates the utility intends to file a new electric rate case on or around April 27, 2026. The move comes less than a week after the MPSC signed off on the latest rate increase.
Since 2020, the MPSC has approved more than $1 billion in annual revenue increases for DTE, even as customers continue to raise concerns about reliability and rising monthly bills.
In its most recent completed case, DTE originally sought a $574 million increase, which would have raised residential electric rates by roughly 11%, before regulators approved a lower $242.4 million figure. It remains unclear how much the company will request in this new filing, though a formal summary is expected before the full application is submitted in April.
More details are expected once DTE files its formal application in April.
In case you missed my story and video, DTE was awarded a massive judgement of about $500 Million in December that NOBODY in local, or any media is talking about. Nobody but us. It’s available by clicking HERE.
