Automated briefing written by an AI model from public MPSC docket records filed November 6–10, 2026 (104 filings and orders in 42 cases).

Judge issues proposal for DTE large-load tariff amendments

Administrative Law Judge Sarah A. Stancati issued a proposal for decision November 9 in DTE Electric Co.’s Rate D11 amendment proceeding, setting November 30 as the deadline for exceptions (U-22061). Replies to exceptions are due December 14.

The proceeding follows the Michigan Public Service Commission’s direction that DTE apply for a generally applicable large-load customer tariff. DTE seeks approval of amendments to Rate D11 and related relief.

The notice provides for a Commission order conforming to the proposal after the exceptions period expires unless parties timely file exceptions or the Commission takes up review.

Docket U-22061

Bay City defends construction limits in Omni Fiber dispute

The City of Bay City defended its fiber construction permitting restrictions in a November 9 reply to Omni Fiber, LLC’s exceptions to a proposal for decision (U-22120). The dispute concerns municipal rights-of-way requirements under the METRO Act.

Bay City urged retention of the administrative law judge’s conclusions that Omni Fiber failed to prove the city’s active-area concept and single-fiber-distribution-hub restriction unreasonable. The proposal also found that the active permit area and single-hub permit, with a two-week overlap, were not arbitrary or unreasonable.

Bay City said Omni Fiber accepted the judge’s choice of controlling legal authority but challenged its application to those restrictions. Omni Fiber also filed a reply to exceptions November 9.

In its supporting brief, Otisville argued that Tilson admitted he is not an expert and has no noise analysis, appraisal or economic analysis of the project’s effects on his properties or operations. The developer seeks an order excluding his direct testimony from the proceeding.
