Consumers Warns Michigan: Dams Could be Torn Down Unless Utility Sells Them This story is part of a Great Lakes News Collaborative series called Shockwave: Rising energy demand and the future of the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes region is in the midst of a seismic energy shakeup, from skyrocketing data center demand and a nuclear energy boom, to expanding renewables and electrification. In 2026, the Great Lakes News Collaborative will explore how shifting supply and demand affect the region and its waters.

Consumers Energy is giving regulators an ultimatum: approve its plan to sell 13 hydropower dams to a private equity firm or face their decommissioning. State officials warn the deal could leave ratepayers exposed and Michigan rivers at risk.

Consumers Energy to Permanently Close Michigan Power Plant by 2025 Consumers Energy has announced plans to permanently close the J.H. Campbell Generating Complex in western Michigan by 2025, following an unexpected extension of operation due to Trump-era emergency directives intended to ensure grid reliability. The utility estimates it has incurred substantial financial losses, totaling approximately $80 million over four months, and faces ongoing high-cost operations if the emergency orders remain in place, casting doubt on its long-term financial sustainability.

96F out. 76F in.

I'd put the AC on high but #ConsumersEnergy charges me more because I'm on a social security check.

The second-largest utility in #Michigan is asking for a $436 million rate hike.

They say it’s about reliability.

But watchdogs say there’s no evidence their spending actually improves service.

So where’s the money going?

You already know the answer.

State legislators from both parties say Michigan’s power grid still isn’t dependable, especially during storms and extreme weather.

But here’s the kicker: The state’s biggest utility, #ConsumersEnergy, has raised #electricity rates by over $800 million in the past decade.
