DTE's Power Supply Cost Recovery Charge

Yes, another DTE rant. But this time I have receipts, which are the images attached. First image is my bill from February and the 2nd one is from March.

Let's talk about this charge which gets no media attention because it's a standard rider that gets added to the base rate costs on our power bills. This charge is used for DTE to recover the fuel and purchased power costs to generate and deliver the power to our homes.

This charge used to be really low at $0.0025 per KWH (or $2.50 per 1000 KWH) and frankly nobody really noticed it.

Then the March rate increases happened. Again, everyone was focused on the base rate increases, but nobody noticed that this subject charge increased by 7.5X to $0.0187 per KWH (or $18.70 per 1000 KWH).

This cost increase is very noticable right now as it's summer time and everyone is running their A/Cs.

Bottom line is that if you're wondering why your bills are $15-20 higher per month this summer for similar power usage, this is why. While everyone focused on the base rate increase which added $5-10/month on average, this charge has added much more than that and it snuck up on everybody.

DTE really knows how to screw their customers both publicly and privately. I'll also give some blame to the (frankly) useless MPSC for allowing DTE to get away with this shit as well.
