Impact analysis
Your monthly electric bills could change dramatically, though it's too soon to say if rates will go up or down.
Residents and local businesses who want cheaper, greener, and more reliable power could come out ahead.
The current utility provider, DTE Energy, stands to lose significant market share and revenue if the city takes over.
