Customer Choice programs are well established in the utility market.  In fact, a recent study covering the last 20 years concludes that monopoly utilities that have no customer choice program pricing went up over 19% more than in utility markets with customer choice.

The debate is over; customer choice lowers prices for consumers, improves power plant utilization and supports local jobs.

It does so by utilizing the wholesale market (which has abundant power reserves), buying the energy at market pricing (ensuring jobs) and utilizes the existing utilities for delivering the energy (strengthening utilities by making them more competitive so companies won’t leave for less expensive energy).

The argument of subsidy, loss of state jobs or not enough power have all been proven to be false.

Michigan should fully embrace customer choice for the benefit of its residents and the strengthening of its economy and environment.
