Responsible Regulation Protects Michigan

Policy decisions at all levels of government impact the way we produce, distribute, and use energy.

Responsible regulation provides a framework for energy companies, businesses, and communities to work together to secure Michigan’s energy future.

Powering Michigan, Responsibly

Reliability – Ensuring there is enough energy capacity to meet the needs of all Michigan energy consumers
Affordability – Maintaining a flexible, cost-effective mix of resources and technologies to help keep costs low and stable for consumers
Sustainability – Integrating renewable and clean energy into our energy mix in ways that protect reliability and affordability while making our energy supply cleaner for the long term
Fairness – Ensuring our state’s energy polices treat all consumers equally and all Michiganders benefit from the investments we make in our energy system

Michigan has a strong framework in place for achieving all of these energy goals. Now our task is to build on that framework in ways that will meet consumers’ needs in both the short and long term. AMP will continue advocating for smart energy policy decisions out of Lansing to keep energy safe, reliable, affordable, and sustainable for everyone.

Net Zero Emissions Requires a Comprehensive Approach

You’ve probably heard that DTE has raised eyebrows across Michigan and the entire country by announcing an ambitious new plan. DTE is going beyond its commitment of 80% carbon reduction to a new goal of reaching for “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050.

Local Energy Gives Back, Locally

We recently discussed some of the ways local energy providers work to support local communities by participating in an array of community-focused projects and initiatives. Today, we want to take some time to recognize some other ways local providers are giving back to help support everything from good old summertime fun to wildlife restoration and environmental education to economic and neighborhood development in communities across the state.

Summer Refresh on Rates and Infrastructure Investment

Summer is heating up—and with the higher temperatures come increased energy use and greater demand. All of these factors can have a significant impact on the rates we pay for electricity. That’s why now is a good time to take a look back at some of our previous discussions on rates and infrastructure investments.
