LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan's second-biggest utility has until Wednesday to appeal a judge's recommendation that it refund $106 million to customers across the state.
The state Attorney General's office says Friday in a release that Michigan Public Service Commission Law Judge James Rigas determined that Consumers Energy Co. billed surcharges from 2001 through 2003 to tear down a former nuclear power plant in the Charlevoix area.
Rigas has said the utility should refund excess money to customers.
The refunds would be distributed as a credit on monthly energy bills. Total refunds will depend on how much electricity a customer uses each month.
