Consumers Energy, Michigan's second largest electric utility, has implemented a new electric rate designed to serve large AI data centers while protecting other customers from bearing the costs. The rate applies to new customers drawing more than 100 megawatts and includes safeguards such as 15-year minimum contracts, billing for 80% of contracted power regardless of use, and exit fees for early contract termination. This measure aims to ensure that large data centers cover the costs of the necessary power infrastructure.
