LANSING — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is moving to block DTE Energy’s latest attempt to raise natural gas rates, arguing the utility continues to push unjustified costs onto customers who are already strained by rising household expenses.

DTE has filed a request with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) seeking to increase natural gas rates by 9.83% for all customers and 7.81% for residential users. The proposed hike would generate $237.5 million annually, which DTE says it needs to offset a projected revenue deficiency for the year ending Sept. 30, 2027.

Nessel announced her intervention just one day after the filing, signaling another aggressive challenge to the utility’s rate practices.
