Keep Utility Costs Down for Michiganders!
Michigan lawmakers have introduced legislation aimed at lowering utility costs and protecting everyday consumers—adding to the existing Ratepayer Bill of Rights, which Democrats are fighting to make law.
These newly introduced bills would include reasonable limits on what utility companies can earn, keeping costs down while allowing utilities to maintain necessary infrastructure and investments. They would also bar utility companies from charging Michiganders for costs like political contributions and advertising.
Utility companies should work for us, not the other way around. Sign the petition now demanding that Michigan lawmakers pass the Ratepayer Bill of Rights! >>
Why is this important?
Everyone is feeling the pressure of skyrocketing prices—from groceries to gas to rent. And utility companies will keep raising rates unless our lawmakers step in to protect working families.
Right here in Michigan, residents continue to pay the highest utility rates in the Midwest. But if lawmakers pass legislation to make utility companies work in the public interest, Michigan households could save an estimated $267 between 2027 and 2030 alone.
