The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today approved procedures dealing with the administration and allocation of electric load allowed to be served by alternative electric suppliers (AESs), under Public Act 286 of 2008.

Today's order makes clear that electric choice customers that are currently served by an AES will not be automatically returned to utility service, in the event the 10 percent choice cap is exceeded due to a reduction in utility sales during the year.

It also requires utilities to make available on their Web sites an electric choice cap tracking system that allows customers to check on the status of the program.

The procedures in their entirety are available in Appendix A of today's order:
