In the aftermath of power outages that affected hundreds of thousands of people in February and March this year, many Michiganders are scrutinizing the state’s largest investor-owned utilities: DTE and Consumers Energy.

Michigan’s Public Service Commission is holding town halls this week on the outages, and dozens of Michiganders have come forward to share their frustrations. Meanwhile, an Ann Arbor-based nonprofit has long been advocating for a transition to a public-owned electric utility, rather than an investor-owned one. 

DTE is a corporate sponsor of Michigan Radio.

GUESTS:
Nushrat Rahman, Report for America Corps Member, Bridge Detroit and The Detroit Free Press
Greg Woodring, president, Ann Arbor for Public Power
