C1.6 General Provisions of Service
A. Service Requirements
The customer is required, at no expense to the Company: (a) to provide space for Company facilities on
the customer's premises to meet the customer's needs for service, and (b) to allow the Company to trim,
cut down, remove, or otherwise prevent future growth of trees and brush on the customer's premises that,
in the Company's discretion, interfere or threaten to interfere with or be hazardous to the construction,
operation and maintenance of the Company’s facilities. Company facilities shall be utilized in
accordance with the provisions of this Electric Rate Book.
The Company shall install service connections from its distribution lines to a suitable point of attachment
on the customer's premises designated by the Company. Customer requests for a point of attachment
other than that specified by the Company may be granted at the Company’s discretion, and the additional

in Case No. U-21224

C1.6 General Provisions of Service (Contd)
A. Service Requirements (Contd)
The customer may have to provide a deposit and/or contribution if the service the customer requires
cannot be provided from available distribution lines. The extension policy is stated in Rule C6.,
Distribution Systems, Line Extensions and Service Connections.
The customer may be required to provide, at no expense to the Company, a dedicated telecommunication
line(s) as required for metering purposes, located within ten feet of the meter involved.
B. Parallel Operation Requirements
The Company shall not be required to operate in parallel with a customer's or operator's generating
facilities when, in the opinion of the Company, such parallel operation may create a hazard, disturb,
impair or interfere with communication circuits or with the Company's service to other customers. The
Company may agree to parallel operation when the customer or operator provides adequate controlling
and protective equipment necessitated by the presence of a source of power on the customer's or
operator's premises and has sufficient trained personnel to perform the necessary operations. Such
equipment and its installation shall be in accordance with the Generator Interconnection Requirements as
approved by the Commission. It may further require the customer or operator to pay the cost of and
maintain private telephone connections with the offices of the Company's Load Dispatcher, for the
purpose of assuring continuity of service to other customers.
The customer or operator shall be responsible for furnishing, installing and maintaining, at the customer's
or operator's expense, all necessary controlling and protective equipment for connecting the generating
facility to the Company's electric system to protect the customer's or operator's equipment and service as
well as the equipment and service of the Company from injury or interruptions which might be caused by
a flow of current from the Company's lines to the customer's or operator's connections or from a flow of
current from the customer's or operator's generating equipment to the Company's lines. The customer or
operator shall assume any loss, liability or damage caused by a malfunction or lack of such equipment.
C2. CONTROLLED SERVICE (SEE SECTION C3.)
C3. EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL PROCEDURES

C3.1 General
Emergency Electrical Procedures may be necessary if there is a near-term shortage in the electrical energy
supply to meet the demands of customers. For the purpose of this procedure, an Emergency Electrical Event
may be i) an abnormal system condition requiring manual or automatic action to maintain system frequency, or
to prevent loss of firm load, equipment damage, or tripping of system elements that could adversely affect the
reliability of any electric system or the safety of persons or property; ii) a fuel shortage requiring departure from
normal operating procedures in order to minimize the use of such scarce fuel; or iii) a condition that requires
implementation of Emergency Electrical Procedures as defined in this tariff. Conditions during an emergency
event may escalate such that procedural steps are not followed in orderly succession.
Consumers Energy is a member of a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) which therefore dictates that
during any Emergency Electrical Event, Consumers Energy will coordinate procedural steps with the RTO and
with the applicable transmission operator. For longer-term forecasts of resource adequacy, the RTO works with
Consumers Energy to ensure an effective and efficient resource adequacy construct with appropriate
consideration of all eligible internal and external resources and resource types and recognition of
legal/regulatory authorities and responsibilities.
The Company shall promptly advise the Commission of the nature, time and duration of implemented
emergency procedures which could result in widespread disruption of service to customers. The Commission
may order the implementation of additional procedures or the termination of the procedures previously
employed when circumstances so require.

in Case No. U-18249
C3. EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL PROCEDURES (Contd)
C3.2 Generation Capacity Shortages
A. Sudden or Unanticipated Frequency Event
In the event of a major power system disturbance which results in an area being seriously deficient in
generation, this procedure sheds load to restore a load-generation balance.
In the event of a sudden decline of the frequency on the system or a sudden breakup which isolates all or
parts of the Company's electric system from other electric systems with which it is interconnected and
which results in the area so isolated being deficient in electric generation, with consequent rapid decline
in frequency, automatic load shedding will take place per North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) Reliability Standards. Five percent (5%) of the system load will be shed
automatically at each frequency step of 59.5, 59.3, 59.1, 58.9 and 58.7 Hertz as set forth in East Central
Area Reliability Council (ECAR) Document No. 3. Service so interrupted shall be to certain substations
and lines serving customers throughout the Company's service area. Such interruptions shall be, where
practicable, for short periods of time.
Consumers Energy will comply with Reliability Directives from the applicable transmission operator and
Balancing Authority, as defined in the NERC glossary of terms, to restore the system as frequency is
recovered.

in Case No. U-18249

C3.2 Generation Capacity Shortages (Contd)
B. Actual or Forecast Generation Capacity Shortages
In the event the RTO determines that near-term conditions are such that maximum generation capacity is
within 1% of forecasted peak load, as published daily by the RTO, plus operating reserves, as defined in
the NERC glossary of terms, an Emergency Alert Level is declared. For all emergency levels, the
Company will advise the MPSC staff by telephone. The Alert Level steps are:
(1) Generation assets will cancel maintenance that could jeopardize capability and expedite returning
equipment to service if it increases capability.
(2) Hydro facilities will coordinate schedules to ensure maximum output during the alert period.
(3) Operators will dispatch to sites that will need operator assistance to make equipment available.
(4) Non-utility generators and independent power producers will be polled for additional energy.
(5) Tariff Interruptible loads will be advised of system conditions.
In the event the RTO determined that forecasted energy reserves are less than required, actual operating
reserves are less than requires, or transmission constraints may be projected to limit energy transfer, the
RTO will declare an Emergency Warning Level. For all declared emergency levels, the Company will
advise the MPSC staff by telephone. The Warning Level steps are:

C4. APPLICATION OF RATES
C4.1 Classes of Service
The rates specified in this Electric Rate Book are predicated upon the delivery of each class of service to a
single metering point for the total requirements of each separate premises of the customer, unless otherwise
provided for in the Company's Electric Rate Book.
Service to different delivery points and/or different classes of service on the same premises shall be separately
metered and separately billed. In no case shall service be shared with another premises or transmitted off the
premises to which it is delivered. The restriction on transmitting service off the premises to which it is
delivered does not apply to electricity that may be delivered to a renewable energy generation facility spanning
multiple parcels of property through the facilities’ collector system.
C4.2 Choice of Rates
A customer may be eligible to have service billed on one of several rates or provisions of a rate. Upon request,
the Company shall advise the customer in the selection of the rate or rate provision which is most likely to give
the customer the lowest cost of service based on the information provided to the Company. The selection of the
rate or provision of a rate is the responsibility of the customer. Because of varying customer usage patterns and
other reasons beyond its reasonable knowledge or control, the Company does not guarantee that the most
economic applicable rate will be applied.
After the customer has selected the rate and rate provision under which service shall be provided, the customer
shall not be permitted to change from that rate and rate provision to another until at least twelve months have
elapsed. The customer shall not be permitted to evade this rule by temporarily terminating service. However,
the Company may, at its option, waive the provisions of this paragraph where it appears a change is for
permanent rather than for temporary or seasonal advantage. The provisions of this paragraph may also be
waived where the customer can demonstrate that a Bona Fide Change in Customer Load has occurred. The
effective date of a rate change under this rule shall be the beginning read date of the next bill issued. The intent
of this rule is to prohibit frequent shifts from rate to rate.
The Company shall not make refunds in instances where the customer would have paid less for service had the
customer been billed on another applicable rate or provision rate.
Where the customer has provided the Company with incorrect information to gain an economic benefit,
backbilling may be rendered to the date the incorrect rate selection initially occurred.
In order to reduce load in times of high system demands, the Company may make contractual arrangements
with customers who can self-generate power, shift load from on-peak to off-peak periods and/or provide other
forms of voluntary load reduction.

included in the six-person rule.
Rules for Multifamily Dwellings and Farm Service can be found in Sections A(4) and (5) of this rule.
C. Combined Residential and Non-Residential Usage and Rate Application
When the electricity supplied to a customer is used for both residential and Non-Residential purposes, the
wiring may be so arranged that the residential and Non-Residential usage are metered separately. Each
type of usage shall be billed on the appropriate Rate Schedule. If the usage is not separately metered, the
Company shall determine the appropriate Rate Schedule for billing based on the customer’s usage.

in Case No. U-18249
D. Rate Application for Seasonal Condominium Campgrounds
When the electricity supplied to a customer is used for Seasonal Condominium Campgrounds, the usage
shall be considered Non-Residential and shall be billed on the Company's appropriate General Service
Rate. To be considered a Seasonal Condominium Campground, the following conditions must exist:
(1) The property must, in total or in part, be owned by a single legal entity, such as an Association,
who must have primary operational responsibility for the property.
(2) The legal entity with ownership and operating responsibility must be subject to licensing provisions
under Act 368 of 1978 of the State of Michigan, specifically that required for operation of a

Residence.
(5) Units allowed within the park are restricted to those classified by law as a Camping Trailer, Travel
Trailer, Camping Cabin, or Park Model Recreational Unit by Act 206 of 1893 and 368 of 1978.
In the absence of any of these conditions, the Company shall classify the customer as residential or Non-
Residential, based on the criteria in other portions of this Rule. The customer shall then be required to
take service consistent with the requirements of that classification and bear any expenses to be incurred in
meeting such requirements, or be subject to shutoff of service by the Company.
Customers that meet the above conditions may be served by individual meters or by a single metering
installation, but must adhere to the following conditions in cases where individual metering by the
Company is not applicable.
(1) The customer's facilities may not be constructed so as to cross public streets, alleys, or rights-of-
way.
(2) The customer's facilities for each unit shall not exceed 50 amps. Should the customer desire

(7) The customer shall be responsible for ensuring that the electrical facilities are adequate to meet the needs
of the units placed within the Seasonal Condominium Campground in their entirety and shall pay the
Company for any charges incurred for modifications necessary to accommodate load according to other
portions of this Electric Rate Book.
C4.4 Resale
This provision is closed to resale for general unmetered service, unmetered or metered lighting service and new or
expanded service for resale for residential use.
No customer shall resell electric service to others except when the customer is served under a Company rate
expressly made available for resale purposes, and then only as permitted under such rate and under this rule.
Where, in the Company's opinion, the temporary or transient nature of the proposed ultimate use, physical
limitation upon extensions, or other circumstances, make it impractical for the Company to extend or render service
directly to the ultimate user, the Company may allow a customer to resell electric service to others.
For the purposes of this tariff, the provision of electric vehicle charging service for which there is no direct per kWh
charge shall not be considered resale of service.
A resale customer is required to take service under the resale provision of one of the following rates for which they
qualify: General Service Secondary Rate GS, General Service Secondary Time-of-Use Rate GSTU, General Service
Secondary Demand Rate GSD, General Service Primary Rate GP, Large General Service Primary Demand Rate
GPD, or General Service Primary Time-of-Use Rate GPTU. Resale Service is provided pursuant to a service
contract providing for such resale privilege. Service to each ultimate user shall be separately metered.
A. If the resale customer elects to take service under a Company Full Service resale rate, the ultimate user shall be
served and charged for such service under standard Rate RSM for residential use or under the appropriate
standard General Service Rate applicable in the Company's Electric Rate Book available for similar service
under like conditions. Reselling customers are not required to offer or administer any additional service
provisions or nonstandard rates contained in the Electric Rate Book, such as the Income Assistance Service
Provision or the Educational Institution Service Provision.
B. If the resale customer elects to take service under a Company Retail Open Access Service rate, the ultimate
user shall be served and charged for such service under Rate ROA-R for residential use or under Rate ROA-S
or ROA-P applicable in the Company's Electric Rate Book available for similar service under like conditions.
C. If the ultimate user is a campground lot or boat harbor slip, the resale customer has the option to charge a
maximum of the following all inclusive rate per kWh in place of billing the ultimate customer on the
appropriate standard Company tariff rate:
$0.192667 per kWh for all kWh during the months of June-September
$0.176091 per kWh for all kWh during the months of October-May
The Company shall be under no obligation to furnish or maintain meters or other facilities for the resale of
service by the reselling customer to the ultimate user.
The service contract shall provide that the reselling customer's billings to the ultimate user shall be audited each
year by February's month end, for the previous calendar year. The audit shall be conducted either by the
Company, if the Company elects to conduct such audit, or by an independent auditing firm approved by the
Company. The reselling customer shall be assessed a reasonable fee for an audit conducted by the Company. If
the audit is conducted by an independent auditing firm, the customer shall submit a copy of the results of such
audit to the Company in a form approved by the Company.

in Case No. U-21224
C4.4 Resale (Contd)
The service contract shall also provide that the reselling customer shall be responsible for the testing of each
ultimate user's meter at least once every 3 years. The accuracy of such meters shall be maintained within the
limits as prescribed in Rule B1., Technical Standards for Electric Service. Meters shall be tested only by
outside testing services or laboratories approved by the Company.
A record of each meter, including testing results, shall be kept by the reselling customer during use of the meter
and for an additional period of one year thereafter. When requested, the reselling customer shall submit
certified copies of the meter test results and meter records to the Company.
The reselling customer shall supply each ultimate user with an electric system adequate to meet the needs of the
ultimate user with respect to the nature of service, voltage level and other conditions of service. The reselling
customer shall render a bill once during each billing month to each of the customer's tenants in accordance with
approved Rate Schedules of the Company. Every bill rendered by the reselling customer shall specify the
following information: the rate categories and provisions; the due date; the beginning and ending meter
readings of the billing period and dates thereof; the difference between the meter readings; the Power Supply
Cost Recovery Factor; if applicable; the subtotal of the bill before taxes; amount of sales tax; other local taxes
where applicable; any previous balance; the amount due for delivery service and/or power supply service, as
applicable; the amount due for other authorized charges; and the total amount due. The due date of the
customer's bill shall be 21 days from the date of rendition.
If the reselling customer fails to meet the obligations of this rule, the Company shall notify the Commission. If,
after review with the reselling customer, the problem is not resolved, the Company shall assess a penalty in the
amount of 15% of the resale customer's bill before taxes per month until the problem is resolved. The reselling
customer is not permitted to pass the resale penalty cost on to its ultimate customer(s). If the problem is not
resolved after three months, the Company shall shut off electric service until the problem is resolved. The
Company shall not incur any liability as the result of this shutoff of electric service.
The renting of premises with the cost of electric service included in the rental as an incident of tenancy is not
considered to be a resale of such service.
Neither the resale of electric services provided by Consumers Energy nor the sale of self-generation at publicly
available electric vehicle charging stations is subject to Commission regulation and no restrictions are imposed
on the rate charged or rate structure to the ultimate motor vehicle customers, as those sales are being made into
the competitive motor fuels market.
C4.5 Mobile Home Park – Individually Served
For purposes of this rule, the definition of a mobile home park is a parcel or tract of land upon which three or
more mobile homes are located on a continuous nonrecreational basis.
Service to separately metered mobile homes shall be billed on the appropriate Residential Service Rate under
the following conditions:
Service to all new mobile home parks and expanded service to existing mobile home parks receiving electrical
service shall be provided through individual tenant metering.
The mobile home park shall be of a permanent nature with improved streets and with individual water and
sewer connections to each lot. Ordinarily, electric service to a mobile home shall be in the name of the
occupant. However, service to lots designated for occasional or short-term occupancy shall be in the name of
the owner of the park or his/her authorized representative.

in Case No. U-18249
C4.5 Mobile Home Park - Individually Served (Contd)
It shall be mandatory that all original electric distribution systems and service connections installed in such
qualifying new mobile home parks and in existing mobile home parks in which electric distribution facilities
have not already been constructed (including new extensions of distribution systems in such existing mobile
home parks and service connections to lots which can be served from any such new extensions) be placed
underground.
The Company shall provide, own, maintain and specify the location of all underground distribution facilities as
are required to provide service except as otherwise expressly provided herein. No ownership rights therein shall
pass to mobile home park occupants, owners or their representatives by reason of any contribution required
hereunder.
Prior to the installation of any underground distribution system and service connections, the mobile home park
owner or his/her authorized representative shall enter into a written contract with the Company generally
describing the proposed installation and setting forth the respective agreements of the parties in regard to such
installation. Such contract shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this rule. Each proposed system
shall be a separate and distinct unit and any extension thereof shall be made the subject of a separate written
contract or supplemental agreement.
Prior to the installation of the underground distribution system, the mobile home park owner or an authorized
representative shall furnish, at no expense to the Company, recordable easements in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, granting rights-of-way suitable for the installation and maintenance of the facilities
and equipment comprising the underground distribution system.
The mobile home park owner or an authorized representative shall provide, at no expense to the Company, for
rough grading (within three inches of finished grade) and for clearing the easement of trees, large stumps and
other obstructions so that the underground distribution system and service connections can be properly installed
in relation to the finished grade. Any subsequent relocation of Company facilities required on account of a
change in grade shall be done at the expense of the mobile home park owner or an authorized representative.
A. Original Installations of Underground Distribution Systems
The mobile home park owner or an authorized representative shall be required to make a nonrefundable
contribution in aid of construction to the Company, to cover the estimated difference in cost between
overhead and direct burial underground facilities. Such contribution shall be computed on the basis of a
rate of $4.00 per foot of required trench and $10.00 per kVA of transformer capacity to be installed.

in Case No. U-18249
B. Original Installations of Underground Service Connections From Underground Distribution Systems
The mobile home park owner or an authorized representative shall be required to make a nonrefundable
contribution in aid of construction to the Company, to cover the additional cost resulting from the
installation of the underground service connections. Such contribution shall be computed on the basis of
$4.50 per foot of required trench measured on the surface of the ground along the route of the cable from
the secondary source to a point directly below the customer's meter(s).
The Company shall furnish, install, own and maintain the entire underground electric distribution system
including the pre-meter portion of the service lateral cables for new mobile home parks. The trenches for
Primary or Secondary main cables will be occupied jointly by facilities of the Company and other utilities
where satisfactory agreement for reimbursement of applicable joint facility costs exist between the
Company and the other utilities.
Certain related equipment, such as pad-mounted transformers, switching equipment, and service pedestals
may be above grade. The area must be suitable for the direct burial installation of cable.
The mobile home park owner or an authorized representative shall provide, own, install and maintain
suitable meter supports of a design satisfactory to the Company.
C. If temporary overhead service is installed for the convenience of the mobile home park owner or an
authorized representative for construction purposes, such owner or representative shall be required to pay
the in-and-out costs of such overhead facilities in the underground area.
D. Where, in the Company's judgment, practical difficulties exist, such as frost or water conditions, rock near
the surface, or where there are requirements for deviation from the Company's filed construction
standards, the per foot charges included in this rule shall not apply and the contribution in aid of
construction shall be equal to the estimated difference in cost between overhead and underground
facilities but not less than the contribution calculated under the appropriate per foot charge.
E. The Company may, upon request of the owner and subject to the provisions of this rule, assume
ownership of, and incorporate into its electric distribution system, all of an owner's existing electric
distribution system and service connection, including distribution lines, transformers, services, meter set
assemblies, meters and associated equipment. The Company, on assuming ownership, shall provide
individual service and meters for each ultimate consumer. The purchase price to be paid by the Company
for such distribution system shall be computed at a rate of $200 per lot for each lot with an installed
service connection to the distribution system where the average age of the mobile home park is five years
or less. Such rate shall be reduced by $40 per lot for each additional five-year increment in average age.
In cases where the assumption of ownership would require the Company to install new distribution
facilities and service connections or modify the existing distribution system, the mobile home park owner
or authorized representative may be required to make a deposit or nonrefundable contribution in aid of
construction to the Company to cover the cost of such facilities.

in Case No. U-18249
(To revise Interval Data Estimation Rule)

Notwithstanding other provisions of this rule, an overhead distribution system shall be incorporated into
the Company's electric distribution system originally as an overhead distribution system. Any subsequent
conversion to underground distribution facilities shall be in accordance with the provisions of this rule.
The mobile home park owner shall be responsible to provide a recordable easement granting rights-of-
way suitable for installation and maintenance of the electric facilities; to provide, own, install and
maintain suitable meter supports; to remove any unused existing electrical equipment not transferred to
the utility; to make any necessary wiring changes to separate the electrical responsibilities of the park
owner from those of the tenant; and to move mobile homes or other equipment as required to provide
access to easements to facilitate maintenance or required upgrading of the existing system.
F. Extension Policy
Service to mobile home parks shall be subject to the provisions of Rule C6., Distribution Systems, Line
Extensions and Service Connections.
G. Any charges, contributions or deposits may be required In Advance of commencement of construction.
C5. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
C5.1 Access to Customer's Premises
The Company's authorized agents shall have access to the customer's premises at all reasonable hours, to install,
inspect, read, repair or remove its meters; to install, operate, maintain or remove other Company property, and
to inspect and determine the connected electrical load on the customer's premises. Neglect or refusal on the part
of the customer to provide reasonable access shall be sufficient cause for shutoff of service by the Company,
and assurance of access may be required before service is restored.
C5.2 Bills and Payments
A. Billing Frequency
Bills for electric service shall be rendered on approximately a monthly basis, and shall be due and payable
on or before the due date shown on each bill.
B. Meter Reads and Estimated Bills
The Company shall schedule meters to be read on approximately a monthly basis and will attempt to read
meters in accordance with such schedule.
When the Company is unable to obtain an actual meter reading, the bill shall be estimated on the basis of
past service records, adjusted, as may be appropriate. Where past service records are not available or
suitable for use, such billing shall be based upon whatever other service data are available. Each such
account shall be adjusted as necessary each time an actual meter reading is obtained.
(1) Interval Data Estimation
The Company requests usage data (including index and interval data) from smart meters daily.
The usage data is stored in the meter data management system. The billing system requests the
ending index read and time of use interval billing determinants (i.e., consumption of usage in each
tier) for the billing cycle.
The billing system performs an industry standard sum check calculation comparing the sum of the
interval billing determinant tiers to the difference of the starting and ending index.
When index data is missing, the billing system estimates the missing index read.
When interval data is missing, the delta is placed in the lower-tiered rate.
In the case where there is no missing data and the sum of the interval tiers exceeds the difference of
the index reads, the bill will be adjusted by a billing agent such that the excess interval tiered usage
is removed from the higher priced tier.

notice.
F. Late Payment Charge
The Company shall assess a late payment charge as authorized by the Company's Electric Rate Book.
G. Returned Bill Payments
A check, debit card, credit card or other form of payment remitted as a bill payment and returned or an
authorized prepayment not honored by the bank or financial institution against which it is drawn shall be
rebilled to the customer's account. A $15 charge shall be assessed to the customer for processing a
payment or an authorized prepayment returned by a bank or other financial institution for reason of
insufficient funds, account closed, no account and similar situations, excluding bank or financial
institution errors.
H. Billing Error
(1) Overcharge
If a customer has been overcharged as a result of incorrect actual meter read by a Company
representative, incorrect remote meter read, incorrect meter constant, incorrect calculation of the
applicable rate, a meter switched by the Company or Company representative (incorrect connection
of the meter), incorrect application of the Rate Schedule, failing to provide a monthly bill to the
customer at the end of a billing cycle, or other similar reasons, the amount of the overcharge shall
be adjusted, refunded, or credited to the customer promptly upon discovery by the Company. The
Company shall not make retroactive adjustments when the customer has not notified the Company
as to pertinent conditions of service. The Company is not required to adjust, refund or credit an

(To update rule title)
H. Billing Error (Contd)
(2) Undercharge
(a) If a customer has been undercharged as a result of incorrect actual meter read by a Company
representative, incorrect remote meter read, incorrect meter constant, incorrect calculation of
the applicable rate, a meter switched by the Company or a Company representative, (incorrect
connection of the meter), incorrect application of the Rate Schedule, failing to provide a
monthly bill to the customer at the end of a billing cycle, or other similar reasons, the
undercharge may be billed to the customer subject to Section H(2)(b) of this rule. The
Company shall not make retroactive adjustments when the customer has not notified the
Company as to pertinent conditions of service.
(b) Except in cases of energy theft, stolen meter, switched meter by someone other than the
Company or a Company representative, meter error or nonregistering meter, backbilling of
customers is limited to the one-year period immediately preceding the discovery of the
undercharge. The customer shall be given a reasonable time in which to pay the amount of the
backbilling, taking into account the period of the undercharge, and service shall not be shut off
during this time for nonpayment of the amount of the backbilling if the customer is complying
with the repayment agreement.
I. Metering Inaccuracy or Nonregistering Meter
(1) Overcharge
If a customer has been overcharged as a result of a metering inaccuracy, or nonregistering meter, the
amount of the overcharge shall be adjusted, refunded or credited to the customer promptly upon
discovery by the Company in accordance with Rule B2., Consumer Standards and Billing Practices for
Electric and Natural Gas Service R 460.115, Meter accuracy and errors for electric and gas customers.

in Case No. U-21150
J. Energy Theft, Stolen Meter and Switched Meter
In cases where metered or unmetered energy theft, stolen meter or switched meter by someone other
than a Company representative are involved, refunds and backbillings are for the determined duration of
the period. Where the duration cannot be reasonably established or estimated, the Company will adjust
the billing for the past three years on the basis of actual monthly consumption determined from the most
recent 36 months of consumption data.
Metered or unmetered energy theft includes but is not limited to tampering, unauthorized use, diversion
and interference. For purposes of this rule, a stolen meter is classified as any meter not specifically
assigned to that service location by the Company. For purposes of this rule, a switched meter is
classified as a meter intentionally assigned incorrectly to a customer resulting in the customer being
billed for another customer's consumption.
The Company reserves the right to recover all unbilled service revenue and reasonable actual costs
associated with the theft of energy, stolen meters or switched meters. Therefore, the customer or other
user who benefits from the unauthorized or fraudulent use is responsible for payment of the reasonable
actual cost of the service used during the period such fraudulent or unauthorized use or tampering
occurred, or is reasonably assumed to have occurred, and is responsible for the reasonable actual cost of
the tampering investigation and any associated damages, with the exception that all costs be recovered in
cases involving criminal prosecution. The customer who did not intentionally steal a meter, switch a
meter or who did not intentionally become involved in energy theft shall pay for energy usage according
to Section H of this rule.
The owner of the multiple metered building shall be responsible for accurately tracing all lines and for
tagging such lines with Company-provided tags to assure individual units are properly metered. The
Company will not set the meters until the lines are identified. The owner of the multiple metered
building could be held responsible for any underrecovery of revenues resulting from improperly tagged
meters. Any future expense of tracing lines due to instances of switched meters related to errors in
tracing and tagging of such lines shall be the responsibility of the current owner of the multiple metered
building.
C5.3 Restoration of Service
Restoration charges and meter relocation charges shall be made by the Company to partially cover the cost of
shutting off, terminating and restoring service.
Where service has been shut off for reasons as outlined in Rule C1.3, Use of Service, a restoration charge of
$11 shall be collected from the customer whose service was disconnected at the customer's meter. If service
was disconnected at the point of contact with the Company's distribution system, a charge of $80 shall be
collected from the customer whose service was shut off.
Where service has been shut off for reasons as outlined in Rule C1.3, Use of Service, a meter relocation
charge, if applicable, and assessed in accordance with Rule B2., Consumer Standards and Billing Practices
for Electric and Natural Gas Service, R 460.116, Meter relocation, and R 460.144, Restoration of Service,
shall be collected from the customer whose service was shut off. The Company shall charge the customer for
relocating the meter, based on the Company's current cost.

in Case No. U-18249
(To revise Shutoff Protection Plan for Residential Customers)
C5.3 Restoration of Service (Contd)
The restoration charge and meter relocation charge, if applicable, shall be billed to the customer and shall be
paid before service is restored.
An On-Premises Site Visit Charge of $15.00 shall be assessed to the customer if a Company employee is sent
to the premises to either serve the customer with a shut-off notification or to shut off service, unless the
customer presents evidence that reasonably indicates the claim has been satisfied or is currently in dispute.
The charge shall be applied to the customer account. The Company shall not assess this fee twice on the same
notice for shutoff.
In case of shutoff of service, the Company shall restore service only after any metering changes, where
deemed necessary by the Company, have been made by the Company and after the customer has paid for any
unmetered energy used, paid for any damage to Company property, paid the restoration charge and meter
relocation charge, installed any necessary devices to protect the Company's facilities and paid all charges as
provided in the Company's Electric Rate Book.
A customer who orders a termination and a restoration of service at the same premises within a 12-month
period shall be liable for a "turnon" charge of $11.
C5.4 Shutoff Protection Plan for Residential Customers

B. Enrollment
An eligible customer may enroll at any time of the calendar year in the SPP. Where unauthorized use of
utility service has not occurred, to enroll an eligible customer must (1) contact the Company and indicate
that they wish to enroll, (2) be able to demonstrate that he or she has made application for state or federal
heating assistance, or has a household income that does not exceed 200% of the federal poverty guidelines
as published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services or receives supplemental
security income or low-income assistance through the Department of Human Services or successor agency,
food stamps, or Medicaid, (3) within 14 days of a customer calling to enroll in the SPP, have completed
the enrollment process by paying a minimum down payment of 10% of the total amount owed to the
Company at the time of the request to enroll. An eligible customer is not enrolled in the SPP until the
enrollment requirements are fulfilled. Customers previously enrolled in the SPP the last twelve months
who default may be permitted to re-enroll in a modified SPP payment arrangement, at the discretion of the
Company, if they have demonstrated a willingness to satisfy the terms of the payment plan through their
payment history or have received assistance that will improve the customer's ability to satisfy the payment
arrangements. The modified SPP repayment period shall not exceed 24 months.
Customers who enroll in the SPP who have not been enrolled in the SPP for more than twelve months may
not be required to pay a deposit or reconnection fee, if applicable. Customers who enroll in the SPP who
were previously enrolled in the SPP in the last twelve months and removed due to default may be required
to pay a deposit and a reconnection fee, if applicable.
Where unauthorized use of utility service has occurred, the customer must pay 100% of the portion of
charges that are the result of the unauthorized use. Upon receipt of payment, the customer shall be
considered eligible if all other eligibility requirements are met. The customer may then enroll under the
conditions described previously. The payment of unauthorized use charges may be made at the same time
as the down payment of the total amount owed to the Company is made. In the event that the
downpayment of the total amount owed to the Company is made without payment of the unauthorized
charges at the same time or previously, the payment received shall first be applied to the unauthorized
charges.
In the event that an eligible customer has contacted the Company to indicate a wish to enroll but the
requirements so described are not met in full, the eligible customer shall then be subject to credit action as
though no contact with the Company had occurred. In the event that all Company obligations to shut off
service have been met, the eligible customer shall receive a minimum of one communication at least 24
hours prior to shutoff of service.
C. Customer Protection
Once enrolled in the SPP, a utility shall not shut off service to a SPP Customer if the customer pays to the
Company a monthly amount equal to 1/12th of the estimated annual bill for the SPP Customer and a
Company-specified amount between 1/12th and 1/24th of any remaining delinquent balance owed to the
Company at the time of the enrollment. The Company shall have the right to deny or shut off service in
accordance with Rules and Regulations of the Company as authorized by the Michigan Public Service
Commission outlined in Rule C1.3, Use of Service and in Rule C5.1, Access to Customer’s Premises.
While the customer is enrolled in the SPP and payments are made by the due date of the amount due
shown on the bill, no late payment charges will be assessed. The SPP Customer may participate in the SPP
for a maximum period of 24 months or until the delinquent charges are eliminated and the SPP Customer is
able to pay his or her regular monthly energy bills.

C6.2 Underground Policy
A. General
This rule sets forth the conditions under which the Company shall install direct burial underground
electric distribution systems and underground service connections for residential and General Service
customers. For the purpose of this rule, such underground distribution facilities are defined as those
facilities operated at 15,000 Volts or less phase to ground wye connected or 20,000 Volts or less phase to
phase delta connected.
The general policy of the Company is that real estate developers, property owners or other applicants for
underground service shall make a contribution in aid of construction to the Company in an amount equal
to the estimated difference in cost between underground and equivalent overhead facilities.
Methods for determining this cost differential for specific classifications of service are provided
herein. In cases, where the nature of service or the construction conditions are such that these conditions
are not applicable, the general policy stated above shall apply.
In cases where the Company does not require underground electric distribution systems and/or
underground service connections, but is required to underground such facilities by state or local law or
regulation, the Company may adjust the contribution in aid of construction to account for such
requirement.
It shall be mandatory that all original electric distribution systems installed in new residential subdivisions
and in existing residential subdivisions in which overhead electric distribution facilities have not already
been constructed be placed underground, except that a lot within a subdivision facing a previously
existing street or county road and having an existing overhead distribution line on its side of the street or
county road shall be served with an underground service from these facilities and shall be considered a
part of the underground service area. It shall also be mandatory that all original service connections
installed to serve one-family or two-family dwellings from an underground distribution system be placed
underground.
Except as otherwise provided in the following paragraph, it shall be mandatory that all new General
Service distribution systems and service connections installed in the vicinity of or on the customer's
premises to be served, and constructed solely to serve the customer or a group of adjacent customers, be
placed underground.
in Case No. U-20697
C6.2 Underground Policy (Contd)
A. General (Contd)
Notwithstanding anything in this Rule C6.2, Underground Policy, to the contrary, it shall not be
mandatory that any new General Service distribution systems or service connections be placed
underground where, in the Company's judgment, any of the following conditions exist:
(1) Such facilities would serve General Service customers having loads of temporary duration; or
(2) Such facilities would serve General Service customers in areas where little aesthetic improvement
would be realized if such facilities were placed underground; or
(3) Such facilities would serve General Service customers in areas where it is impractical to design and
place such facilities underground because of uncertainty of the size and character of the loads to be
ultimately served therefrom.
The General Service customers referred to in (1) above would include in all instances, but are not
limited to, those who operate carnivals or portable asphalt plants or who are engaged in
construction or oil exploration activities. The General Service customers referred to in (2) above
would include in many instances, but are not limited to, those who operate gravel pits, junkyards,
railroad yards, steel mills or foundries. The General Service customers referred to in (3) above
would include in many instances, but are not limited to, those located in industrial parks which are
under development.
The Company shall provide, own, maintain and specify the location of all of its underground
distribution facilities, and no ownership rights therein shall pass to any owner(s), or developer(s) or
customer(s) by reason of any contribution required hereunder.
Prior to the installation of every residential underground distribution system, and prior to the
installation of every General Service underground distribution system where the Company desires a
written contract in regard thereto, the owner(s), developer(s) or customer(s) who is to make any
contribution required hereunder shall enter into a written contract with the Company generally
describing the proposed distribution system and setting forth the respective agreements of the
parties in regard thereto. Such contract(s) shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this
Rule C6.2, Underground Policy. Each proposed system shall be a separate and distinct unit and any
extension thereof shall, if desired by the Company, be made the subject of a separate written
contract or supplemental agreement. A written contract shall not be required for the installation of
any underground Primary or Secondary Voltage service connection. Prior to the installation of any
underground electric distribution system the owner(s), developer(s) or customer(s), as the case may
be, may be required, if desired by the Company, to furnish, at no expense to the Company,
recordable easements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, granting rights-of-way
suitable for the installation and maintenance of the underground electric distribution system
including any streetlighting cables and transformers, as designed by the Company for present and
future service.

in Case No. U-18249
A. General (Contd)
The owner(s), developer(s) or customer(s), as the case may be, may be required, if desired by the
Company, to provide, at no expense to the Company for rough grading (within three inches of finished
grade) and for clearing the easement of trees, large stumps and other obstructions so that the underground
electric distribution system and streetlighting cables, if any, can be properly installed in relation to the
finished grade. In residential areas, permanent survey stakes indicating property lines must be installed
and maintained by such owner(s), developer(s) or customer(s) at no expense to the Company, after rough
grading. Any subsequent relocation of Company facilities required on account of a change in grade shall
be done at the customer's expense.
If temporary overhead service is installed for the convenience of the owner(s), developer(s) or
customer(s) for construction purposes, they shall be required to pay the in-and-out costs of such overhead
facilities in the underground area.
B. Installations of Underground Distribution Facilities - Residential
(1) The provisions of this Section B shall be applicable only to one-family and two-family
dwellings. All other dwellings shall be governed by Section C of this Rule C6.2, Underground
Policy.
(2) Original Installations of Underground Distribution Systems
(a) In subdivisions
The owner(s) or developer(s) of residential subdivisions shall be required to make a

nonrefundable contribution in aid of construction to the Company, to cover the estimated
difference in cost between overhead and direct burial underground facilities. Such contribution
shall be computed on the basis of a rate of $3.50 per front foot.
The front-foot measurement of each lot to be served by a residential underground distribution

system shall be made along the contour of the front lot line. The front lot line is that line
which usually borders on or is adjacent to a street. However, when streets border on more
than one side of a lot, the shortest dimension shall be used. In the case of a curved lot line
which borders a street or streets and represents at least two sides of the lot, the front-foot
measurement shall be considered as one-half of the total measurement of the curved lot line.
Where a lot is served by an underground service from an overhead distribution line the lot
front-foot measurement of the lot to be served shall be deleted.
The trenches for Primary or Secondary main cables will be occupied jointly by facilities of the
Company and other utilities where satisfactory agreement for reimbursement exists between
the Company and other utilities.
Where sewer and/or waterlines will parallel Company cables, sewer and/or water taps must be
extended into each lot for a distance of one foot beyond the easement prior to installation of
the cables.

in Case No. U-18249
B. Installations of Underground Distribution Facilities – Residential (Contd)
Where a residential underground distribution system serves lots on one side of a street, the
later connection of lots on the other side of the street to that existing system shall be
considered as an original installation of a residential underground distribution system for such
later-connected lots.
Streetlighting, if any, shall be served underground in areas served directly by residential
underground distribution systems. The character and location of the streetlighting cables, if
any, and all equipment constituting the residential underground distribution system, shall
conform to specifications prepared by the Company.
Where the underground cable for a residential underground distribution system extends
through areas within the subdivision which are undeveloped or consist of lots platted for future
use and which are not to be served initially by the system, the front-foot measurement of both
sides of the street or easement along which the cable extends through such areas shall be
included in determining the contribution of the owner(s) or developer(s) for the residential
underground distribution system.
Where the Company and the owner(s) or developer(s) agree that it is desirable to extend the
underground cable to the boundary of a subdivision property from a point outside the
subdivision a contribution of $7.00 per trench foot shall be required.
(b) Outside of subdivisions
The Company shall extend its Primary or Secondary distribution system from existing
overhead or underground facilities. When any such extension is made from an existing
overhead system the property owner may be required to provide an easement(s) for extension
of the overhead system to a pole on his/her property where transition from overhead to
underground can be made.
The customer shall be required to make a nonrefundable contribution in aid of construction to
the Company, to cover the estimated total difference in cost between overhead and direct
burial underground facilities for all underground facilities required to serve the customer.
(3) Installation of Underground Service Connections
The developer or customer shall be required to make a nonrefundable contribution in aid of

construction to the Company, to cover the additional cost resulting from the installation of an
underground service connection. For normal installations such contribution shall be computed on
the basis of a flat fee of $350.00 for the first 150 linear feet of service from the termination of the
Company's facilities at the front or rear property line to a point directly below the customer's
meter. Each additional foot of installation in excess of 150 linear feet shall be computed at $4.50
per linear foot. Where special routing of the service lateral is required by the customer, the $4.50
per foot charge will apply to the route of the line as installed.
Where the electric service connection is installed jointly with the gas service line, the per foot
charge for all footage, as measured, shall be reduced by 25 cents per foot.

in Case No. U-18249

C8. POWER SUPPLY COST RECOVERY (PSCR) CLAUSE (Contd)
A. Applicability of Clause (Contd)
"Power Supply Costs" means those elements of the costs of fuel and purchased and net interchanged power as
determined by the Commission to be included in the calculation of the Power Supply Cost Recovery
Factor. The Commission determined in its Order in Case No. U-10335 dated May 10, 1994 that the fossil plant
emissions permit fees over or under the amount included in base rates charged the Company are an element of
fuel costs for the purpose of the clause.
B. Billing
(1) The Power Supply Cost Recovery Factor shall consist of an adjustment factor of 1.07968 applied to
projected average booked cost of fuel burned for electric generation and purchased and net interchange
power incurred above or below a cost base of $0.05570 per kWh (excluding line losses). Average booked
costs of fuel burned and purchased and net interchange power shall be equal to the booked costs in that
period divided by that period's net system kWh requirements. The average booked costs so determined
shall be truncated to the full $0.00001 cost per Kilowatt-hour. Net system kWh requirements shall be the
sum of the net kWh generation and net kWh purchased and interchange power.
(2) Each month the Company shall include in its rates a Power Supply Cost Recovery Factor up to the
maximum authorized by the Commission as shown on Sheet No. D-6.00.
Should the Company apply lesser factors than those shown on Sheet No. D-6.00, or if the factors are later
revised pursuant to Commission Orders or Michigan Compiled Laws, Annotated, 460.6 et seq., the
Company shall notify the Commission if necessary and file a revised Sheet No. D-6.00.
C. General Conditions
(1) The power supply and cost review shall be conducted not less than once a year for the purpose of
evaluating the Power Supply Cost Recovery Plan filed by the Company and to authorize appropriate
Power Supply Cost Recovery Factors. Contemporaneously with its Power Supply Cost Recovery Plan,
the Company shall file a 5-year forecast of the power supply requirements of its customers, its anticipated
sources of supply and projections of Power Supply Costs.
(2) Not more than 45 days following the last day of each billing month in which a Power Supply Cost
Recovery Factor has been applied to customers' bills, the Company shall file with the Commission a
detailed statement for that month of the revenues recorded pursuant to the Power Supply Cost Recovery
Factor and the allowance for cost of power included in the base rates established in the latest Commission
order for the Company, and the cost of power supply.
(3) All revenues collected pursuant to the Power Supply Cost Recovery Factors and the allowance for power
included in the base rates are subject to annual reconciliation proceedings.

customer shall not be permitted to exit the program, or change the newly established level of
participation, until at least 12-months have elapsed. The Company, depending on the amount of energy
secured from Renewable Energy Suppliers, may refuse to allow a customer to increase the level of
participation in the program until sufficient energy supplies become available.
In the event renewable energy resources are unavailable or cannot be procured to serve the program, the
Company will return customers to the tariff or tariffs under which they took service immediately prior to
participating in the RRP. The Company will provide notice to the customer of this change in service.

in Case No. U-18249

D. Customer Participation (Contd)
In the event the Green Generation Program is oversubscribed, the customer's name will be maintained on a
Company list in the order under which they were received. The customer will be enrolled on a first-come, first-
served basis for Green Generation Program Payment Options 1, 2 and 3. A customer electing Green Generation
Program Payment Option 1, who elect to participate at the equal to or greater than 1,200,000 kWh per month
level, or Payment Option4 are subject to advance Company approval based on the availability of Green

Program under this tariff. There is no provision to provide Green Tag certificates or RECs to participating
customers under this tariff. RECs will be retired annually in an amount equal to the generation associated with
customer participation.
The Company may secure a third-party marketer to assist in marketing the Green Generation Program, soliciting
customer and/or performing other functions on behalf of the Company. Any information shared with a third-party
contractor will conform to Tariff Rule C17, Customer Data Privacy.
Service under the Green Generation Program shall require a written contract with a minimum term of one year.
Customers shall be permitted to change their established level of participation after 12 months have elapsed.
Customers participating in the Green Generation Program shall be responsible for all surcharges applicable to the
rate for which they receive electric service, including the REP Surcharge.
The price for renewable electric energy is dependent on the cost of purchasing renewable electric energy from
successful energy bidders in the RFP process described herein.
In the event that available resources are inadequate to provide the Company with total recovery of the cost
incurred to procure renewable electric energy, the Company will either reduce payments to Renewable Energy
Suppliers, or apply to the Commission to increase the Green Generation Program tariff price paid by participating
customers to defer and recover these costs.
E. Payment Options and Pricing

of the renewable resource premium available under this program. Customers who elect to participate at the less
than 15,000 kWh per month level shall pay a $0.01 per kWh renewable resource premium applicable to an amount
equal to 100% of the customer's total monthly energy consumed.
Customers who elect to participate at the equal to or greater than 15,000 kWh per month level, but less than
1,200,000 kWh per month, shall pay a $0.0085 per kWh renewable resource premium applicable to an amount
equal to 100% of the customer's total monthly energy consumed. The minimum amount of the renewable resource
premium applicable is 15,000 kWh in any single billing month, regardless of customer usage. Customers desiring
to aggregate energy consumed from multiple service accounts in order to participate at a level greater than 15,000
kWh shall be permitted to do so.

in Case No. U-18249
E. Payment Options and Pricing (Contd)
Customers who elect to participate at the equal to or greater than 1,200,000 kWh per month level shall pay a
$0.007 per kWh renewable resource premium applicable to an amount equal to 100% of the customer’s total
monthly energy consumed. The minimum amount of the renewable resource premium applicable is
1,200,000 kWh in any single billing month regardless of customer usage. Customers desiring to aggregate
energy consumed from multiple service accounts in order to participate at a level greater than 1,200,000 kWh
shall be permitted to do so.
Payment Option 2
The customer may purchase Green Generation Program participation Certificates in the amount of $1.50 per
certificate per month. Each certificate shall represent 150 kWh of renewable electric energy procured by the
Company in the Green Generation Program. Customers may purchase any number of Green Generation
Program Certificates. In the event the amount of energy represented in the customer's Green Generation
Program Participation Certificate exceeds the customer's actual kWh consumption for the billing period, no
reconciliation shall be made on the customer's billing. If the amount of energy represented by the customer's
selected Green Generation Program Participation Certificate exceeds the customer's actual kWh consumption
for three consecutive billing periods, the customer may modify the number of Green Generation program
Participation Certificates selected.
Payment Option 3
Customers who purchase 100 or more Green Generation Program Participation Certificates a month may
purchase certificates for $1.275 per certificate per month. The 100 block minimum must be applied to the
customer's single billing account. To qualify for the discounted certificate price, the number of certificates
(totaling a minimum of 100) to be billed against the customer's billing account must be specified in advance
by the customer in a written agreement. In order to maximize the number of customers eligible to participate
in the Green Generation Program, the Company may limit the number of Green Generation Program
Participation Certificates available for the discounted premium to 25% of the total renewable electric energy
procured for the Green Generation Program. In the event the amount of energy represented in the customer's
Green Generation Program Participation Certificates exceeds the customer's actual kWh consumption for the
billing period, no reconciliation shall be made on the customer's billing. If the amount of energy represented
by the customer's selected Green Generation Program Participation Certificates exceeds the customer's actual
kWh consumption for three consecutive billing periods, the customer may modify the number of Green

account shall be billed a minimum of 4,000 blocks. To qualify for this option, the number of certificates
(totaling a minimum of 8,000) to be billed against the customer's billing accounts must be specified in
advance by the customer in a written agreement. Customers participating in Option 1, 2 and 3 shall have
priority for available Green Generation Program Participation Certificates. In the event of a shortfall in
supply of renewable energy not expected to exceed more than six months duration, the Company and the
customer may mutually agree in writing to continue the customer's participation in the program by
temporarily suspending the customer's participation until additional renewable energy supplies or Renewable
Energy Certificates (RECs) become available, or by temporarily reducing the amount of monthly Green
Generation Program Participation Certificates to a level that can be reasonably supplied by the Company. In
order to maximize the number of customers eligible to participate in the Green Generation Program, the
Company may limit the number of Green Generation Program Participation Certificates available for the
discounted premium to 25% of the total renewable electric energy procured for the Green Generation
Program. In the event the amount of energy represented in the customer's Green Generation Program
Participation Certificates exceeds the customer's actual kWh consumption for the billing period, no
reconciliation shall be made on the customer's billing.

in Case No. U-18249
F. Green Generation Program Fund; Limitation on Green Generation Program

The availability and pricing of the Green Generation Program to customers is dependent on revenues
received by the Green Generation Program Fund. The Green Generation Program Fund consists of
revenues received from the Midland Cogeneration Venture (MCV) Limited Partnership ($5,000,000 per
year) pursuant to the amended and restated power purchase agreement approved in Case No. U-15320.
The Company shall collect the funds from the MCV as authorized in Case No. U-15320. The Company
shall account for the funds in such a manner that the Commission Staff can audit the funds at any time
upon reasonable notice. The Green Generation Program Fund revenues received from the MCV shall be
interest-bearing. The Company does not assume any financial obligation to pay for renewable energy
under the Green Generation Program in excess of amounts paid by participating customers plus the
funding contained in the Green Generation Program Fund without specific authority from the
Commission that any such excess liability shall be fully recoverable either as incurred or on a deferred
basis. Because funding for projects selected to provide renewable energy to the Company in the Green
Generation Program is limited, the Company shall have the right, in addition to the other rights
described herein, to stop taking deliveries of renewable energy if and when the revenues in the Green
Generation Program Fund together with the other sources of funding described herein are not sufficient
to provide timely payment of such deliveries.
The Company may, at its option, sell RECs associated with renewable energy acquired or secured for
purposes of the Green Generation Program if the RECs are not needed or are not anticipated to be
needed to satisfy the renewable energy requirements for the Green Generation Program within a
reasonable period.
Proceeds from the sale of these RECs shall be placed in the Green Generation Program Fund.
G. Cost Recovery
The Company shall recover the costs of renewable electric energy and administrative and
implementation costs as set forth in the Commission's May 18, 2004 order, as amended on July 25,
2006, in Case No. U-13843.
H. Green Generation Program Annual Status Report
The Company will submit an annual status report within 90 days after the last billing cycle of each year
to be reviewed by the Commission Staff. The annual status report shall include the progress of the
Green Generation Program, the amount of the Green Generation Program Fund, the Green Generation
Program expenses, energy subscribed by customers under the program and energy supplied to the
Company by Green Generation Program electric renewable energy suppliers.
I. Customer Termination from the Green Generation Program

operating agreement must be completed prior to the equipment operating in parallel with the
distribution system of the utility.
(5) The customer is required to obtain the characteristics of service from the Company prior to the
installation of equipment. The Company shall provide the characteristics in writing upon request.
In the event that the equipment proposed for connection is not compatible with these
characteristics, the Company shall have no obligation to modify its distribution system or provide
any monetary compensation to the customer. The equipment shall be installed on the same
premises to which energy is delivered to the customer, or on land contiguous to the premises to
which energy is delivered to the customer that is owned by the customer or which the customer has
a documented long-term lease in a format acceptable to the Company.
Distribution facilities to which the equipment is connected shall be secondary. Any service
facilities shall be dedicated to the generator and shall not be shared with those providing service to
any customer. The Company shall determine the characteristics of service. Should the installation
of new Company distribution facilities be necessary for the equipment, all costs for the distribution
facilities installed may be charged to the applicant in advance of construction as a nonrefundable
contribution. Necessary overhead service facilities shall be provided at no cost to the applicant. If
the applicant desires underground service facilities, the difference in cost between overhead and
underground service facilities shall be charged to the applicant in advance of construction as a
nonrefundable contribution.
(6) If, in the sole judgment of the Company, it appears that connection of the equipment and

(b) The Developer Program is included in the residential AR Program. There shall be three separate
75 kW phases that will be held semi-annually. Developers must apply to reserve residential capacity,
with a minimum fee of $350 per kW. All fees collected will be placed into the remaining AR fund,
the fees for the non-awarded developers will be returned to them. If there is more capacity reserved
than available during the primary developer application period, a secondary auction will be held with
the eligible developers that submitted applications during the primary application period. Developers
will be granted six months from the time of award to secure residential participants from their
reserved capacity allotment. Any capacity not assigned to a new residential construction home within
six months of award will be forfeited. Projects will have one year from the end of the six month
award window to complete construction and achieve commercial operation of the generating system.
(2) Allocation of contracts to serve generation associated with Non-Residential customers: There shall be two
semi-annual allocation cycles conducted each year in which 750 kW shall be allocated to Non-Residential
customers in each allocation cycle. Beginning January 1, 2015, the frequency of Non-Residential
allocations will be increased to bi-monthly. The capacity solicited in each allocation will be 750 kW.
Allocations will continue to be offered until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2015 or (ii) capacity of the
program is fully subscribed. The amount of capacity solicited in the final allocation will be determined by
the remaining capacity in the program. In the event application capacity exceeds the allocation cycle
offered capacity, capacity shall be awarded based on a random selection from the valid Non-Residential
applications submitted for that allocation cycle.
(3) The Company may evaluate the capacity allocated to Non-Residential and residential customers at each
allocation cycle, based on applications, awards, and/or connected systems of prior allocation cycles.
Should the demand for a class of customer be significantly less than the allocation capacity reserved for the
class, the capacity awarded by class may be modified by the Company.

in Case No. U-18249
C. Allocation (Contd)
(4) A customer may only submit one application per allocation cycle for each account. A customer may
be awarded more than one contract through various allocation cycles. However, each allocation must
be separately metered by the Company and shall require a separate system access charge. The sum of
the direct current nameplate capacity of the systems installed may not exceed the amount of capacity
eligible based on the customer's delivery account.
(5) The Company shall provide notice to each applicant regarding the status of their
application. Applicants selected will be conditionally awarded contingent upon the following:
(a) Submission of an interconnection application and execution of a renewable energy purchase

agreement, within a number of days specified by the Company. The renewable energy purchase
agreement will become effective upon receipt by the Company of a generator interconnection
operating agreement and detailed data regarding the solar generation system from the customer,
including but not limited to the manufacturer and model number of the solar panels and inverter
and number of solar panels and inverters, and a meter read obtained by Company personnel
following notification from the participating customer that the system is ready to operate.
(b) Submission of evidence of financing, equipment purchase, or an otherwise binding obligation to

purchase and install the solar generating system, within a number of days specified by the

Total subscription cost paid to date - (Total subscription costs * (number of bill credits received
to date / number of bill credits available in program subscription))

dated July 27, 2022
in Case No. U-21134
E. Solar Energy Credits
Solar Energy Credits applied to the customer's monthly bill are based on the customer's subscription level,
the energy credit and the capacity credit.
The Energy Credit includes a factor to account for avoided line losses attributable to the distributed resource
location on the distribution system. The avoided line loss factor is revised when line losses are updated in
general electric rate cases, as approved by the Commission.
Customers that chose to have the REC sold when this option was initially available will be credited
quarterly. The REC credit is based on a Michigan Renewable Portfolio Standard REC value published
quarterly in the Midwest Market Notes by Clear Energy Brokerage and Consulting, LLC, or successor
publication, multiplied by the RECs generated. Alternatively, the REC value may be based on the actual
sale of the RECs.
If the monthly Solar Energy Credit is greater than the customer's bill, the excess credit will be rolled over
and applied to the next month's bill. If a Solar Energy Credit accumulates to an amount greater than $100,
the Company shall pay the balance to the customer.
F. Reporting
Each participating customer's monthly energy bill will include the Subscription Payment and Solar Energy
Credit.
G. Cost Recovery

H. MI Sunrise Solar
MI Sunrise Solar is a pilot option that allows Non-profit Organizations the option to procure block
subscriptions and assign the credits from the blocks to low-income residential customers as defined in Rule
C5.4 Shutoff Protection Plan for Residential Customers. Non-profit Organizations may procure block
subscriptions in excess of their own annual usage if the excess block subscriptions are used for the purpose
of assigning credits to low-income customers. Participating Non-profit Organizations serving low-income
residential customers will determine the low-income residential customers’ program eligibility based on
established income-eligibility criteria used as defined in Rule C5.4, Shutoff Protection Plan for Residential
Customers. Non-profit Organizations may also procure block subscriptions for assigning credits to
educational facilities.
Subscription costs for Non-profit Organizations may be funded through grants or tax-deductible donations,
and subscribed blocks will receive Solar Energy Credits for the duration of the subscription. Subscribed
blocks are distributed to low-income residential customer recipients at up to 10 blocks per household for a
maximum of a three-year term. After the three-year term has concluded, the participating Non-profit
Organizations may choose to renew the subscription with the low-income residential customer recipient or
at any time during or after the three-year term, rotate to a new recipient to distribute the benefits to multiple
households. However, non-profit educational facilities shall not have the total subscriptions exceed the
benefiting facilities’ Annual Net Usage.
Participating Non-profit Organizations shall provide annual reporting to the Company by April 30 of each
year regarding number of eligible customers, number of customer applications, and total customer
participation.

I. Pilot Anchor Tenant Option
(1) Availability
The Pilot Anchor Tenant Option provides opportunities for municipalities and schools that are Full-
Service customers to be the subscriber of last resort as an anchor tenant of a designated community
solar facility. The Company will build and own the resource and administer the program, but the
participating anchor tenant will conduct marketing and outreach activities to encourage subscriptions,
which may include low-income customers through the MI Sunrise Solar option, subject to the
Company’s review and approval of any marketing materials.
The participating anchor tenant can identify subscribers for SolarBlocks and MicroBlocks in the
designated community solar facility, which must be to Full-Service customers. All subscriptions will be
administered through the Company, and the anchor tenants and subscribers must adhere to the Solar
Program terms and conditions. The cost of the designated community solar facility will be used to
develop a specific per SolarBlock and MicroBlock cost which will be applicable only to subscribers of
the specific anchor tenant option.
(i) Second Solar Resource Option
A behind-the-meter solution
will also be available per the settlement agreement in Case No. U-21134 approved on July 27,
2022. This solution will be available to the anchor tenant as a second solar resource option
for the following:
(a) to offset on-site electricity use of the anchor tenant, or
(b) to offset a municipality’s electricity use at its own facilities served through its own
distribution system.
The anchor tenant will be required to pay for all costs of this behind the meter facility
pursuant to a contract to be negotiated with the Company. The behind-the-meter system will
be sized to minimize export and is available only in addition to the primary designated solar
facility. The community solar option must be at least as large as any behind-the-meter option.
Only the designated community solar facility component will receive the Solar Energy Credit
as currently defined in this rule.
(2) Subscription Payments
Under the Pilot Anchor Tenant Option, pricing and subscription details will be developed on a case-by-
case basis with the anchor tenant, as the subscriber of last resort, paying all costs except for any portion
of the facility that is otherwise subscribed.
(3) Terms
Municipalities and schools that participate in the Pilot Anchor Tenant Option must contract with the
Company for the life of the resource (up to 25 years). The anchor tenant will bear all costs and will
receive all credits for the portions of the project where there is not another participant during the life of
the project. Residential and Non-Residential Customers may enroll to a month-to-month (for the
remaining life of the resource) subscription through the Company. Subscribing Customers, including the
anchor tenant, would receive monthly Solar Energy Credits for the duration of their participation term
for the community solar generation from the designated community solar facility only.
A customer that ceases to be a Full-Service customer or elects to terminate their subscription early will
be subject to an early termination fee per the customer’s Anchor Tenant contract.
(4) Execution of Contract
The Company has complete discretion whether to proceed with entering a contract with an anchor
tenant and constructing a project. In making such a determination, the Company will consider, but is
not limited to, the following:
(i) the ability to reach acceptable terms with an anchor tenant,
(ii) the environmental feasibility of the project,
(iii) the credit worthiness of the anchor tenant,
(iv) the funding availability, and
(v) any other financial considerations regarding cost and scope of the project.

(To update Rule C10.6 Voluntary Large Customer Renewable Energy Program)
C10.6 Voluntary Large Customer Renewable Energy Program (LC-REP)
The LC-REP Program provides Full Service customers with the opportunity to advance the development of
renewable energy by offering customers the ability to match up to 100% of their total annual energy use with
renewable energy generated from wind or solar resources. Customers have the opportunity to choose Option A
or Option B.
Under Option A, Consumers Energy will supply the Renewable Energy Resource from designated renewable
facilities. Renewable energy designated for use in the LC-REP Program shall not be used by the Company for
compliance with the state’s statutory renewable energy portfolio requirements. Eligible customers will be
enrolled on a first come first served basis where the Company shall bring on new supply when needed based on
the application submitted to the Company.
Under Option B, the customer provides their own Renewable Energy Resource. The Renewable Energy
Resource must be sourced from any 100% certified renewable wind or solar resource physically located within
the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) footprint.
Renewable Energy under Option A and B shall be provided from wind or solar facilities placed into commercial
operation after December 2017.
Customers that receive at least 50% of their average monthly energy through this program will be exempt from
paying the Company’s Renewable Energy surcharge. Customers that receive less than 50% of their average
monthly energy through this program will be responsible for the full applicable Renewable Energy surcharge.
Option A – Company Provided Renewable Resource
A. Customer Eligibility
Participation is limited to Full Service customers with annual aggregated Maximum Demand of at least
1,000 kW or individual Maximum Demand of at least 150 kW at a single-metered site. Participants shall be
enrolled on a first-in, first-served basis and matching energy shall not exceed the limits of the amount of
renewable energy available for the program. Customers may increase their subscription level annually
during the enrollment period for the remainder of their contract, based on the availability of renewable
energy as determined by the Company.
The Company shall transfer to the customer or retire the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Incentive
Renewable Energy Credits (IRECs), as defined in Public Act 342 of 2016, and in the same manner as
defined in Rule C10.5 Pilot Solar Gardens Program. If a customer’s subscribed energy is in excess of the
monthly output from the program’s designated renewable facilities, then the Company will record the
shortfall and attempt to satisfy the shortfall with renewable generation in excess of customer subscriptions
from past or future months of the same year of the program. The Company will conduct annual reviews of
the program to reconcile the energy generated by the program’s designated renewable facilities against the
amount of renewable energy subscribed by program participants. If the annual review demonstrates that the
renewable facilities have a shortfall in output versus total subscription for the program, then the Company
will provide, at the customer’s option, RECs in an amount that satisfies the customer’s share of the shortfall.
The Company will charge customers the cost of acquiring the RECs on their behalf.
The customer subscription level is expressed as a percentage of their monthly energy use. Minimum
participation match is 1% of monthly energy use for each enrolled customer account and customer may
select participation levels in 1% increments, up to 100% of their total energy use. The customer’s
subscription charge is a dollar per kWh monthly charge applied to the portion of energy of the customer’s
account designated to participate in the LC-REP Program and is designed to fully recover the costs of the
program.

participation level, monthly usage, program supplied generation and service agreement term. The
customer will be billed on a calendar month basis based on a forecasted Net Premium or Credit price.
This Net Premium or Credit price shall be the Subscription Charge less a forecasted energy credit and
capacity credit that the Company will use to credit the customer based on their subscribed percentage
amount in the Program.
An annual reconciliation of the forecasted energy credit and capacity credit provided to the customer
against the Energy Credit and Capacity performance of all the Company’s designated renewable
facilities in the Program will be completed in the first quarter of each year for each preceding Program
year. Customers will be charged or credited for any underage or overage in actual subscription
payments made to the Company no later than the customer’s April bill month. The Company may also
adjust its forecasted capacity credits or energy credits at any time throughout the subscription year to
minimize the annual true-up adjustment.
(b) Market Index Provision:
Full Service customers served on Rate GPD, who elect to match a minimum of 85% of their total energy
use, in the previous 12-month period, with renewable energy may substitute the Real Time Locational
Marginal Price (RT-LMP) at Consumers Energy’s Zonal Load Node, plus a Market Settlement Fee of
$0.002 per kWh, for the standard rate power supply energy charges. Customers selecting the Market
Index Provision shall be responsible for all capacity and non-capacity Power Supply charges included in
the standard Full Service GPD Rate. Customers may select the Market Index Provision on an annual
basis for the Program, after providing a 60 day advance notice.
(c) Subscription Charge:
Participating customers have the option of a 10 Year, 15 Year, or 20 Year Service Agreement. The
subscription charge will be a flat fee, based on the weighted average levelized cost of service for the
unsubscribed capacity at the time of contracting from the Program’s corresponding designated
renewable energy facilities and other Program costs. As new facilities are added to the Program, existing
customers currently with Service Agreements shall retain the same subscription charge for their current
subscribed participation during their contracted period.
Prepayment Provision:
Participating customers have the option of paying a lump sum to the Company to reduce their
Subscription Charge at any time. The lump sum shall reduce the customer’s monthly Subscription
Charge for the remaining term of the Service Agreement.
Re-enrollment: If the customer elects to re-enroll in the Program after their initial or subsequent ten-year
Service Agreement term ends for an additional ten-year Service Agreement, then they will pay their
current subscription charge plus a 2% increase for the subsequent enrollment term. The 2% increase will
be limited to ten-year re-enrollments, after which it is subject to increase at the Company’s discretion. A
customer may elect to re-enroll from a ten-year Service Agreement to a 15-year or 20-year Service
Agreement at the same rate subject to availability.
(d) Renewable Energy Resource Credits:

C10.7 Renewable Energy Credit (REC) Program
The REC Program provides eligible Full Service customers with the opportunity to subscribe to the environmental
attributes of renewable energy by offering customers the ability to utilize renewable energy credits to match up to
100% of their total annual energy. The source of the RECs varies depending on the preferences of the qualifying
customer with four program options including: 1) RECs from existing renewable energy resources in Michigan; 2)
RECs from new renewable energy resources in Michigan; 3) RECs from existing out-of-state resources; and 4) RECs
generated from new out-of-state renewable energy resources. Customers will not be eligible for any of these programs
if they have received a shutoff notice within nine months preceding their application.
The REC subscriptions will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Should REC procurement become price
prohibitive, or should REC availability decrease, the program will close to new subscriptions, and a customer wait list
will be utilized until the program becomes available again through customer attrition or new supply. All four program
options of the REC Program will, with conditions, remain open for enrollment for three years until October 18, 2022.
(1) Michigan REC
This program is designed for customers interested in subscribing to RECs from existing wind and/or solar systems
within Michigan. In doing so, customers can match a percentage of their energy usage based on their subscription
amount with RECs.
Subject to any restrictions, Michigan REC is available to any Full-Service customer. Subscriptions are
limited to the equivalent number of RECs that would be produced by 100% of the customer’s total annual
energy usage if generated by renewable energy.
B. Enrollment
Customers shall submit an online application at the Company’s website to enroll in the program and
commit to their desired subscription level. The Company will procure RECs based on customer
subscription levels through market purchases, through RFP, or by purchasing RECs from available
Company resources not currently utilized for Renewable Energy Credit Portfolio Standard obligations.
The enrollment period is open through the full calendar year.
C. Subscription Payments and REC Treatment

Customers pay a per kWh or per-block fee based on their subscription preference. Initial subscription fees
will be based on a REC value for the most current year published quarterly in the Midwest Market Notes
by Clear Energy Brokerage and Consulting, LLC, or successor publication at the time of program launch,
plus a $0.004 per kWh administrative fee to support program administration, REC procurement, and
marketing. Subscription fees shall be adjusted on an annual basis. Should REC prices, as referenced
above, increase 25% or more above current program subscription costs for the REC component of the
charge during the year, then the subscription fee will be adjusted quarterly. The Company shall retire the
RECs on the customer’s behalf.
Participating customers with aggregate demand greater than 1 MW may specify a renewable fuel type or
age of REC and pay any premium costs associated with such REC procurement. For customers that meet
these requirements, they can have their RECs retired on their behalf or transferred to them.

C11. SELF-GENERATION, NET METERING AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION
C11.1 Self Generation
A customer who meets the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) criteria for a Qualifying Facility, but
elects not to participate in the Company’s Standard Offer under Rule C18, Distributed Generation Program, or Net
Metering Program, may elect to sell energy to the Company under an energy-only contract. The Company has the right
to refuse to contract for the purchase of energy. Sales of energy to the Company under this provision shall require a
written contract with a minimum term of one year.
A. Distribution Requirements for Sellers Connected to Company System
Requirements set forth in Rule C1.6 B. The Company shall install, own, operate, and maintain all metering
and auxiliary devices (including any telecommunication links, if applicable) connected to the Company
System. Meters furnished, installed, and maintained by the Company meter generation equipment.
(2) Energy delivered to the Company shall be alternating current, 60-hertz, single-phase or three-phase (as
governed by Rule B8., Interconnection and Distributed Generation Standards) service. The Company will
determine the particular nature of the voltage in each case.
(3) If the seller’s QF is connected to a distribution line serving other Company customers, then the point of
delivery for energy measurement purposes shall be at the high voltage side of the generating facility’s
isolation transformer connecting the seller’s generating facility to the Company’s distribution system. If the
seller’s generating facility is not connected to a distribution line serving other Company customers, then the
point of delivery for energy measurement purposes shall be at the point at which the radial line connecting
the seller’s generating facility to the Company’s distribution system terminates at the first substation beyond
the facility’s isolation transformer.
(4) Interval Data Meters are required for each generating unit served under this rate. For a seller in which the
measurement of energy delivered to the Company is not located at the point of delivery, then electric losses
as determined by the Company for losses between the energy measurement location and the point of
delivery shall be deducted for billing purposes from the energy measurements thus made.
(5) The seller must meet the requirements contained in Rule B8., Interconnection and Distributed Generation
Standards R 460.911 – R 460.992, for the category of generator installed. Per these standards, testing and
utility approval of the interconnection and execution of a parallel operating agreement must be completed
prior to the equipment operating in parallel with the distribution system of the utility. Additionally, the
Company will confirm and ensure that an electric generator installation at the seller’s site meets the IEEE
1547 anti-islanding requirements.
(6) The seller is required to obtain the characteristics of service from the Company prior to the installation of
equipment. The Company shall provide the characteristics in writing upon request. In the event that the
equipment proposed for connection is not compatible with these characteristics, the Company shall have no
obligation to modify its distribution system or provide any monetary compensation to the seller.
Any service facilities shall be dedicated to the generator and shall not be shared with those providing service
to any seller. The Company shall determine the characteristics of service. Should the installation of new
Company distribution facilities be necessary for the equipment, all costs for the distribution facilities
installed may be charged to the applicant in advance of construction as a nonrefundable contribution. If the
applicant desires underground service facilities, the difference in cost between overhead and underground
service facilities shall be charged to the applicant in advance of construction as a nonrefundable
contribution.
(7) If, in the sole judgement of the Company, it appears that connection of the equipment and subsequent
service through the Company’s facilities may cause a safety hazard, endanger the Company facilities or the
seller’s equipment or to disturb the Company’s service to customers and other sellers, the Company may
refuse or delay connection of the equipment to the facilities.
A seller who contracts to sell energy to the Company on an energy-only contract is not eligible to participate
in the Company’s Standard Offer, Net Metering Program or Distributed Generation Program during the term
the energy-only contract is in effect. Sellers with unsatisfactory payment history on their delivery account
are not eligible to participate.
(8) The Company may discontinue purchases during system emergencies, maintenance, and other operational
circumstances.

diode equipment for streetlighting purposes from vendors, obtain third-party financing through the program,
receive billing notices through their monthly energy bill from the Company, and make all payments required
to the Company. The customer will remain subject to all requirements of Rate Schedule GML. The Company
will invoice applicable customers for the MiSaves financed project in accordance with direction from the
MiSaves Program Administrator and shall forward payment funds to the single entity designated by the
Program Administrator as the Program Lender. Billing will commence with the customer's first full billing
month following enrollment, but not earlier than the February 2010 billing month. Terms of enrollment will
be stipulated under a separate contract. An eligible customer may enter into a contract to participate in
MiSaves through the June 2011 billing month; after that date, the Company will maintain billing in
accordance with a contract executed between January 26, 2010 and the June 2011 billing month but shall not

B. In the event of a dispute questioning legal authorization of the charge, the customer shall be required to
notify the Company of the dispute in a form acceptable to the Company within 60 days of the charge
appearing on the monthly bill of the customer. Upon receipt of such notification, the Company shall
suspend billing of future charges until (a) the Company is notified by the Program Lender that the
dispute is resolved, and (b) the resolution is confirmed by the customer. Billing of the charge may then
be reinitiated.
If resolution of the dispute is not confirmed by the customer but is requested by the MiSaves
Administrator or Program Lender, the Company shall (a) provide notice to the customer that the
MiSaves Administrator or Program Lender has requested that billing be reinstated, (b) provide notice to
the customer that the customer has 30 days to notify the Company that the dispute has not been resolved,
and, if such notification is not received from the customer, (c) resume billing of the charge, including
any past-due amounts communicated to the Company by the MiSaves Administrator or the Program
Lender, upon expiration of the 30-day period. If the customer notifies the Company that the dispute is
not resolved, the Company shall notify the MiSaves Administrator and Program Lender that billing by
the Company has ceased and alternative arrangements for collection shall be made between the Program
Lender and the customer.

ii. Receive a 10-year contract term based on scheduled energy rates. The first five years will use a
forecast of LMPs. Year six through 10 of the term will be based on actual LMPs.
Service hereunder shall be restricted to the Company’s purchase of energy or energy and capacity from sellers’
QFs up to the Contract Capacity specified in the PPA which may be operated in parallel with the Company’s
system. Power delivered to the Company shall not offset or be substituted for power contracted for, or which may
be contracted for, under any other schedule of the Company. If a seller requires supplemental, back-up, or standby
services, the seller shall enter into a separate service agreement with the Company in accordance with the
Company's applicable electric rates and Service Regulations approved by the Commission.
B. Distribution Requirements for Sellers Connected to Company System
(1) All facilities operated in parallel with the Company’s system must meet the Parallel Operation Requirements
set forth in Rule C1.6 B. The Company shall install, own, operate, and maintain all metering and auxiliary
devices (including any telecommunication links, if applicable) connected to the Company System. Meters
furnished, installed, and maintained by the Company shall meter generation equipment.
(2) Energy delivered to the Company shall be alternating current, 60-hertz, single-phase or three-phase (as
governed by Rule B8., Interconnection and Distributed Generation Standards) service. The Company will
determine the particular nature of the voltage in each case.
(3) If the seller’s QF is connected to a distribution line serving other Company customers, then the point of
delivery for energy measurement purposes shall be at the high voltage side of the generating facility’s
isolation transformer connecting the seller’s generating facility to the Company’s distribution system. If the
seller’s generating facility is not connected to a distribution line serving other Company customers, then the
point of delivery for energy measurement purposes shall be at the point at which the radial line connecting
the seller’s generating facility to the Company’s distribution system terminates at the first substation beyond
the generating facility’s isolation transformer.
(4) Interval Data Meters are required for each generating unit served under this rate. For a seller in which the
measurement of energy delivered to the Company is not located at the point of delivery, then electric
losses as determined by the Company for losses between the energy measurement location and the point
of delivery shall be deducted for billing purposes from the energy measurements thus made.

B. Distribution Requirements for Sellers Connected to Company System (Contd)
(5) The seller must meet the requirements contained in Rule B8., Interconnection and Distributed Generation
Standards, R 460.911 – R 460.992, for the category of generator installed. Per these standards, testing and
utility approval of the interconnection and execution of a parallel operating agreement must be completed
prior to the equipment operating in parallel with the distribution system of the utility. Additionally, the
Company will confirm and ensure that an electric generator installation at the seller's site meets the IEEE
1547 anti-islanding requirements.
(6) The seller is required to obtain the characteristics of service from the Company prior to the
installation of equipment. The Company shall provide the characteristics in writing upon request. In
the event that the equipment proposed for connection is not compatible with these characteristics,
the Company shall have no obligation to modify its distribution system or provide any monetary
compensation to the seller.
Any service facilities shall be dedicated to the generator and shall not be shared with those
providing service to any seller. The Company shall determine the characteristics of service. Should
the installation of new Company distribution facilities be necessary for the equipment, all costs for
the distribution facilities installed may be charged to the applicant in advance of construction as a
nonrefundable contribution. If the applicant desires underground service facilities, the difference in
cost between overhead and underground service facilities shall be charged to the applicant in
advance of construction as a nonrefundable contribution.
(7) If, in the sole judgment of the Company, it appears that connection of the equipment and subsequent
service through the Company's facilities may cause a safety hazard, endanger the Company facilities or
the seller's equipment or to disturb the Company's service to customers and other sellers, the Company
may refuse or delay connection of the equipment to its facilities.
A seller taking the Standard Offer is not eligible to participate in the Company’s Net Metering program
or its Distributed Generation program that will be available on a date to be announced by the Company.
Sellers with unsatisfactory payment history on their delivery account are not eligible to participate.
(8) The Company may discontinue purchases during system emergencies, maintenance and other
operational circumstances.
C. Published Avoided Cost Rates
The capacity and energy rates applicable to the Standard Offer will be based on a competitive bidding solicitation
procedure approved by the Commission in its Order in Case No. U-21090 dated June 23, 2022. New full avoided
costs rates stemming from each competitive solicitation will be filed with the Commission for review and approval
within 30 days of the conclusion of each competitive solicitation.
D. Monthly Rate
System Access Charge
Equal to the System Access Charge of the customer's delivery account but not in excess of $50, assessed per
generator meter, to be paid to the Company by the customer or to be deducted from the payment to the
customer by the Company.

Rate Options (Contd)
Capacity
The monthly capacity payment will be equal to the number of Zonal Resource Credits (“ZRCs”) that
MISO determines the seller’s QF can supply to the Company for the applicable MISO resource planning
period multiplied by the applicable capacity rate expressed in such units of capacity. The current resource
planning period is the planning year which runs from June 1st of each year through May 31st of the
following year. If no historical generation data is available for the first year of generation a QF shall be
assigned the MISO class average capacity credits by technology.
Capacity value paid to QFs does not depend on whether the Company actually obtains ZRCs for such
capacity, only that the Company could obtain ZRCs for the QF capacity. Capacity value paid to a QF is in
units of $ per ZRC-Month. MISO ZRCs are equal to the project’s nameplate capacity (in MWAC) modified
by the MISO effective load carrying capacity (ELCC) calculation.
Capacity will be paid based on the average of the methodologies utilized by MISO at the time the QF
contract is executed and at the time of capacity delivery from the QF, according to the MISO Business
Practices Manual (BPM) calculation method effective at the respective times.
Eligible QFs that meet the requirements of Section C18A (1) or C18A (2) of this Rule can select one of the

Customers can elect to participate in the Device Cycling Program and the Peak Reward Program as described in this tariff.
When a customer participates in both programs, the customer’s incremental energy savings earned under the Peak Reward is
compared to the total credit earned under the Device Cycling Program. The greater of the two credits will be applied to the

the Peak Reward Program cannot participate in the Critical Peak Price Program. The Company reserves the right to call test
events between October 1 and May 31 for customers participating in Peak Power Savers Programs.
Device Cycling Program
A customer in a single family residence who is taking service from the Company may be eligible to participate in the
Company’s voluntary Peak Power Savers – Device Cycling Program for load management of eligible electric
equipment, including air conditioning, water heaters, generators and other qualifying equipment. Customer eligibility
to participate is determined solely by the Company. Device Cycling Program Credits may be taken in conjunction with
one another, except for the Generator Credit which cannot be taken in conjunction with any other Device Cycling
Program credit(s). The Company will accept a customer’s qualifying electric equipment under this program only if it
has the capability to be controlled by the Company. The Company will install the required equipment as the
customer’s premises which will allow Load Management upon signal from the Company. When Load Management
equipment is installed at a premises, future customers will be auto-enrolled into the Peak Power Savers - Device
Cycling Program. Upon move in, the customer will be notified confirming participation in the Peak Power Savers -
Device Cycling Program and will have 30 days to opt out. Such equipment shall be furnished, installed, maintained
and owned by the Company at the Company’s expense. Equipment installations must conform to the Company’s
specifications.
The Company reserves the right to specify the term or duration of the program. The customer’s enrollment shall be
terminated if the voluntary program ceases, if the customer tampers with the control switch or the Company’s
equipment or any reasons as provided for in Rule C1.3, Use of Service.
Load Management may occur any day of the week including weekends between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM for
no more than an eight hour period in any one day. Load management may be implemented for, but not limited to,
maintaining system integrity, making an emergency purchase, economic reasons, or when there is insufficient system

Adjustment for Power Factor:
This rate requires a determination of the average Power Factor maintained by the customer during the billing period.
Such average Power Factor shall be determined through metering of lagging Kilovar-hours and Kilowatt-hours during
the billing period. The calculated ratio of lagging Kilovar-hours to Kilowatt-hours shall then be converted to the
average Power Factor for the billing period by using the appropriate conversion factor. Whenever the average Power
Factor during the billing period is above .899 or below .850, the customer bill shall be adjusted as follows:
(a) If the average Power Factor during the billing period is .900 or higher, a 0.50% credit will be applied to all metered-
based charges, excluding surcharges. This credit shall not in any case be used to reduce the prescribed Minimum
Charge.
(b) If the average Power Factor during the billing period is less than .850, a penalty will be applied to all metered-based
charges, excluding surcharges, in accordance with the following table:
Power Factor Penalty
0.800 to 0.849 0.50%
0.750 to 0.799 1.00%
0.700 to 0.749 2.00%
Below 0.700 3% first 2 months
Adjustment for Power Factor shall not be applied when the Peak Demand is based a Minimum Peak Billing Demand.
(c) A Power Factor less than 0.700 is not permitted and necessary corrective equipment must be installed by the customer.
A 15% penalty will be applied to any metered-based charges, excluding surcharges, after two consecutive months
below 0.700 Power Factor and will continue as long as the Power Factor remains below 0.700. Once the customer's
Power Factor exceeds 0.700, it is necessary to complete two consecutive months below 0.700 before the 15% penalty
applies again.
Peak Demand:
The Peak Demand shall be the Kilowatts (kW) supplied during the period of highest use in the billing month but not
less than 60% of the highest Peak Demand created during the preceding billing months of June through September, nor
less than 5 kW.
The Company reserves the right to make special determination of the Peak Demand and/or the Minimum Charge
should the equipment which creates momentary high demands be included in the customer's installation.
When a customer guarantees a Peak Demand of 100 kW, the current month Peak Demand shall be the greatest of (1)
the highest actual Peak Demand created during the on-peak hours in the current billing month, (2) 1/3 of the highest
Peak Demand created during the off-peak hours in the current billing month, (3) 100 kW, or (4) 60% of the highest
Peak Demand created during the previous billing months of June through September. For the purpose of applying the
60% provision, only the Peak Demands created after a customer guarantees 100 kW minimum shall be considered. On-

Facilities Policy: (Contd)

Company-Owned
At the customer's request, the Company shall install new luminaires and associated facilities under this rate, or replace
existing luminaires and associated facilities served under this rate with other luminaires and associated facilities for which it
has rates available in accordance with the following guidelines:
A. The installation of all new, standard unmetered lights shall require a customer contribution of $100 per luminaire.
This policy includes the extension of up to 350 feet of distribution facilities to serve any individual light. Any
extension beyond 350 feet shall require a contribution based on the Company's general service line extension policy.
B. At the customer's request, the Company shall convert its existing incandescent/fluorescent luminaires to the nearest
standard size high-pressure sodium luminaire at no cost to the customer. If requirements for installations make it
necessary for the Company to convert luminaires or if the customer requests a conversion of luminaires that the
Company can no longer maintain due to federal or state requirements, the Company shall cover the cost of the bulb
and the customer shall be responsible for all other expenses as a contribution. For conversions completed with
normal Company maintenance such as replacement of bulbs on a routine schedule or due to failure, then the average
cost of that work type shall be deducted from the total work order cost to determine the required customer
contribution. If other light upgrading is also involved, the Company expenditure shall be calculated in accordance
with the Company’s general service line extension policy. Any costs in excess of this amount shall be borne by the
customer.
Additional annual revenue is the greater of (1) the difference between the annual revenue from the nearest size high-
pressure sodium luminaire and the annual delivery revenue from the upgraded light which would be installed or (2)
the difference between the annual delivery revenue from the existing light and the annual delivery revenue from the
light which would be installed.
C. Where upgrading of high-pressure sodium unmetered lights are requested, the customer shall pay the estimated cost
of conversion. Where the upgrading results in additional revenues to the Company, the customer shall receive a
credit calculated in accordance with the Company’s general service line extension policy to be applied against the
estimated cost of conversion. If the cost of conversion is overestimated, the Company shall, upon completion of
construction, refund that portion of the contribution resulting from the overestimate.
D. Where Company-approved nonstandard poles are requested, the customer contribution shall be the difference in
installed cost between standard wood poles and the requested pole. Where Company-approved nonstandard fixtures
are requested, a customer contribution shall be required to cover costs in excess of the equivalent Company standard
fixture.
E. For unmetered lighting systems installed underground (exclusive of subdivisions where the developer's contribution
provided for underground unmetered lighting), the customer shall be required to contribute the estimated difference
in cost between the equivalent standard overhead construction and required underground construction. No
contribution shall be required for that footage of unmetered lighting cable which can be satisfactorily installed in
underground conduit furnished by the customer for the Company's use and in accordance with the Company's
specification.

Hours of Lighting:
Unmetered lighting shall be burning at all times when the natural general level of illumination is lower than about 3/4
footcandle, and under normal conditions this is approximately one-half hour after sunset until approximately one-half hour
before sunrise. For 24-hour service, unmetered lighting shall be burning 24 hours per day.
The Company shall replace or repair, at its own cost, unmetered lighting equipment that is out of service. A streetlighting
outage credit shall be applied to the customer’s bill for out of service lighting. The credit shall include the Monthly Cost
Per Light and applicable surcharges prorated for the specific timeframe of the outage, beginning on the date the outage was
reported and documented and terminating on the date service is restored. The streetlighting outage credit shall be applied
to the customer’s bill within 90 days of restoration. Outages may be reported using the Company’s Streetlighting Outage
and Reporting Map (https://streetlights.consumersenergy.com).
Outages caused by factors beyond the Company's reasonable control as provided for in Rules C1.1, Character of Service,
and C3., Emergency Electrical Procedures, of the Company's Electric Rate Schedule are not covered by this policy. Such
outages would be handled consistent with the particular circumstances and no credit would be made for such outages.
Lighting service will be supplied from dusk to dawn every night and all night on an operating schedule of approximately
4,200 hours per year.

Availability:
jurisdiction over public streets or roadways for unmetered streetlighting service where the Company has existing
distribution lines available for supplying energy for unmetered light-emitting diode (LED) lighting or for any Company-
owned LED streetlighting system consisting of one or more luminaires. This rate is not available for resale purposes or
for Retail Open Access Service. Installations under this rate shall require a written agreement.
Nature of Service:
Company-Owned Option
In Company-owned systems, the Company shall select, furnish, install and own all equipment for any new unmetered
LED lighting or for any modifications to existing Company-owned equipment. The Company shall supply the energy and
maintain all equipment. In areas where the Company’s facilities are underground or required to be placed underground or
the customer requests underground facilities, the unmetered lighting system shall be served from underground cables
pursuant to the provisions contained in this Rate Schedule. In all other areas, the unmetered lighting system shall
normally be served from overhead lines pursuant to the provisions contained in this Rate Schedule.
Customer-Owned Option
The capacity requirements of the customer-owned Unmetered LED Lighting served under this rate shall be determined by
the Company based on verifiable documentation supplied by the customer. The Company shall have the right to test such
capacity requirements. In the event that said tests show capacity requirements different from those indicated by the
documentation supplied by the customer, the Company’s test capacity value shall be used for billing purposes.
In customer-owned systems, control equipment shall be furnished and owned by the Company. The customer shall
furnish, install and maintain the equipment comprising the unmetered LED lighting system including, but not limited to,
poles, the overhead wires or underground cables between the luminaires and the supply circuits extending to the point of
attachment with the Company's lines. The customer's LED lighting fixtures and equipment must be approved in advance
by the Company before purchase and installation for service under this rate. The Company shall connect the customer's
equipment to the Company's lines in a manner consistent with the Company’s engineering standards, supply the energy
and control the burning hours of the experimental lighting. Maintenance and replacement of the customer-owned
equipment shall be the responsibility of the customer.
Existing unmetered installations with customer-owned fixtures on Company-owned distribution equipment must be
converted to the customer-owned system described above or the Company-owned system described below to receive
service under this Rate Schedule. Such installations may also be converted to a customer-owned metered system and
receive service under Rate Schedule GML. Conversion costs shall be the responsibility of the customer.
Facilities Policy:
Company-Owned Option
Following execution of a written agreement, the Company shall install LED lighting and associated facilities available
under this rate under the following guidelines:
A. The installation of all new, standard unmetered lights shall require a customer contribution of $100 per luminaire.
This policy includes the extension of up to 350 feet of distribution facilities to serve any individual light. Any
extension beyond this amount shall require a contribution based on the Company's general service line extension
policy. For unmetered lighting systems fed by underground electric lines, the customer shall be required to
contribute the estimated difference in cost between the equivalent standard overhead construction and required
underground construction.
B. The conversion of existing unmetered lights to LED shall require a customer contribution per luminaire equal to the
incremental additional cost to be incurred by the Company. A credit of $200 per light shall be applied to the
incremental cost for the conversion of existing luminaires that are closed to new business when converted to the
luminaire recommended by the Company.
C. For light upgrades, such as the replacement of fixtures to a size greater or less than the next equivalent value,
Company expenditures for additional facilities beyond those described above shall be calculated in accordance with
the Company’s general service line extension policy.

D. The Company will determine LED lighting fixtures to be offered under this rate. The list of approved fixtures is
subject to modification at the sole discretion of the Company to accommodate new product development and advances
in technology. Upon customer request, the Company shall provide a list of LED lighting available under this rate.
E. For customer requested material requiring special order, an additional per luminaire per month charge may apply for
procurement and material handling. The Company and the Customer shall mutually agree to the monthly charge prior
to procurement and installation of the special order material.
F. The Company shall determine all associated equipment necessary to provide service under the Company-Owned
Unmetered LED Lighting option.
G. Any charges, deposits or contributions may be required in advance of commencement of construction.
H. At the Company’s discretion, any fixture may be converted to LED at no cost to the customer. The replaced fixture
will be moved to General Unmetered Light Emitting Diode Lighting Rate GU-LED upon completion of the installation
and reconciliation of the community’s streetlighting inventory for billing accuracy.
Customer-Owned Option
If it is necessary for the Company to install distribution facilities to serve a customer-owned system, contributions and/or
deposits for such additional facilities shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s general service line extension
policy. Any charges, deposits or contributions may be required in advance of commencement of construction.

The ROA Customer is the end-user of Power at one or more locations in the State of Michigan who has facilities
connected to the Company's Distribution System. Under ROA Service, the ROA Customer will conduct
transactions with at least two entities - Consumers Energy and a Retailer. The ROA Customer is responsible for
choosing a Retailer.
The Company's principal requirement is that the ROA Customer must already be connected to the Company's
Distribution System as a Company customer or meet the requirements for new customers connecting to the
Company's Distribution System. ROA General Service Customers taking the resale service provision and ROA
Customers with a Maximum Demand of 300 kW or more must execute a ROA Service Contract with the
Company.
E1.3 The Retailer Role
A Retailer is an entity that has obtained all the necessary legal approvals to sell retail electricity in the State of
Michigan. Retailers take title to Power and sell Power in Michigan's retail electric market. The Retailer buys
products and services needed to provide Power to ROA Customers, combines these products and services in
different marketing packages, and sells the packages to ROA Customers. A Retailer must meet all applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements of Michigan and Federal law. The Retailer must secure Transmission
Service from the transmission service provider under the Applicable FERC Open Access Tariff.

E2. ROA CUSTOMER SECTION
E2.1 Terms and Conditions of Service

The ROA Service Standards and Rate Schedules set forth the rates, charges, terms and conditions of service for
the delivery of Power to a ROA Customer, procured by a Retailer. Such Power shall be initially received at a
designated Point of Receipt and ultimately delivered to the ROA Customer's Point of Delivery through the
Company's Distribution System.
A customer's eligibility to take ROA Service is subject to the full satisfaction of any terms or conditions
imposed by pre-existing contracts or tariffs with the Company.
A ROA Customer will specify only one Retailer at any given time for the supply of Power to each ROA
Customer Account or ROA Customer location.
A ROA Customer shall be permitted to change Retailers. The changes will become effective at the completion
of their normal billing cycle. A ROA Customer will be assessed a ROA Customer Switching Service Charge
(as provided for in the ROA Rate Schedule) per account for each change. The change will be submitted to the
Company electronically by the ROA Customer's Retailer as a new enrollment. The Company will notify the
ROA Customer’s previous Retailer and new Retailer electronically of the effective date of the switch.
Upon receipt of the enrollment form from the customer's Retailer, the Company shall provide a new Retail
Open Access Residential Secondary Rate ROA-R Customer with a pending enrollment with a Retailer a
fourteen-day notice period (beginning with the day the Company receives the enrollment from the Retailer) in
which the ROA-R Customer may cancel the enrollment before the switch is executed. A Retail Open Access
Secondary Rate ROA-S and Retail Open Access Primary Rate ROA-P Customer's right to cancel an enrollment
shall be in accordance with the terms of their contract with their Retailer.
A ROA Service Contract may be required in compliance with the Term and Form of Contract provision of the
applicable ROA Rate Schedule. Termination of ROA Service for distribution services can be initiated by the
ROA Customer in accordance with the written notice and the minimum term of ROA service requirements as
provided for in the "Return to Company Full Service" provision in this ROA Customer Section or initiated by
the Company with a minimum of 60 days' written notice.
E2.2 Metering
All load served under this tariff shall be separately metered. A ROA Customer receiving electric service with a
Maximum Demand of 20 kW or more shall be metered with a Wireless Under Glass Meter or be required to
install an Interval Data Meter.
A ROA Customer receiving electric service through Company-owned transformation will have varying
metering requirements, depending on the ROA Customer's size. The metering requirements for these ROA
Customers shall be determined as follows:
ROA Customer Maximum Demand Required Metering
Wireless Under Glass Meter,

Less than 20 kW Energy-Only Registering Meter
or Energy and Maximum
Wireless Under Glass Meter,

20 kW or Greater Demand Registering Meter
Interval Data Meter

in Case No. U-18249
(To remove references to Load Profiling)

E2. ROA CUSTOMER SECTION (Contd)
E2.2 Metering (Contd)
Metering equipment for a ROA Customer shall be furnished, installed, read, maintained and owned by the
Company.
For a ROA Customer with an Interval Data Meter that is not a Wireless Under Glass Meter, meter reading will
be accomplished electronically through a ROA Customer-provided telephone line or other communication links
that allow access to the meter data by the Company and are compatible with the Company's metering and
billing systems. The communication link must be installed and operating prior to the ROA Customer receiving
ROA Service.
A ROA customer with maximum demand of 20 kW or less may receive meter reads by conventional means. If
the account exceeds a maximum demand of 20 kW and the customer does not have a Wireless Under Glass
Meter, the customer will be required to install a communication line to access the Interval Data Meter
electronically in order to continue ROA service if the customer is located in an area where electric Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) transmitting technology meters are not available.
The ROA Customer, not being metered with a Wireless Under Glass Meter shall obtain a separate telephone
line for such purposes paying all charges in connection therewith. The ROA Customer is responsible for
assuring the performance of the telephone line or other communication links at the time of meter interrogation
for billing purposes. If the Company is unable to access meter data electronically, the Company will retrieve
the data manually. If the Company is unable to access meter data electronically for two or more billing months
within a 12 month period, the Company will assess a $45 charge for the second and all subsequent manual
meter reads unless the inability to access the meter data electronically is the fault of the Company. The ROA
Customer will be notified of the $45 manual meter read policy following the first incident requiring a manual
meter read within the 12 month period. In the event that the Company is unable to access meter data
electronically for three consecutive months, the ROA Customer's ROA Service shall be terminated and the
ROA Customer shall be transferred to Company Full Service and be subject to the "Return to Company Full
Service" provision unless telephonic access failure is due to non-performance of the telecommunications service
provider or the Company. The 60-day notice requirement to terminate the ROA Customer's service does not
apply in the event the Company is unable to access the ROA Customer's meter data electronically for three
consecutive months and is subsequently returned to Company Full Service. In the event the Company is unable
to access the meter data electronically for 12 consecutive months due to non-performance of the
telecommunications service provider, the customer will be returned to full service. It is the customer's
responsibility to notify the Company the status of any known telephonic communication issues that may inhibit
the Company's ability to access meter data electronically.
A hardship exception may be made for cases where installation of both land-line and cellular telephone service
is impractical and a Wireless Under Glass Meter is not an option. The burden of proving hardship rests on the
customer. If the hardship exception is granted, the customer's meter will be manually read once a month, on a
date the Company selects, for an additional charge of $45 month.
For a Wireless Under Glass Meter, an Energy-Only Registering or Energy and Maximum Demand Registering
metered ROA Customer, the meter will be read by conventional means and the ROA Customer will not be
required to provide a telephone service or other communication link.
E2.3 Character of Service
A. Refer to the "Nature of Service" provision of the applicable ROA Rate Schedule.
