Description

Consumers Energy plans to sell its fleet of 13 aging hydroelectric dams in Michigan to a subsidiary of a Maryland-based private equity firm, Hull Street Energy. The sale includes a 30-year power purchase agreement. There are concerns about the accuracy of dam removal cost estimates, which rely on limited site data and assumptions by the consultant WSP. The Michigan Public Service Commission is reviewing the sale, weighing issues such as long-term maintenance, financial accountability, and risk to ratepayers. The sale was announced in September 2025, with a decision expected after a proposal for decision scheduled for June 10, 2026.
