What Michigan power is made of

In plain words. Natural gas is the biggest source in Michigan (42%), and the power made there is about as clean as the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 4,639 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 4,141 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Michigan plants of 1 MW or more made 129.2 TWh. The biggest sources: natural gas 42.0%, coal 22.7%, nuclear 21.3%. For comparison, natural gas makes 40.9% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 11.0% (22.6% for the U.S.). Michigan plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

Analyst note

Michigan residential power was 12th highest of 51 in 2015 at 14.42 ¢ and is 12th in 2024 at 19.30 ¢, so the state held the same place. The U.S. figure went 12.65 to 16.48 ¢ while Michigan went +33.8%. The biggest annual move was 2021 at +7.9%; the latest year, 2024, came in at +2.4% against +3.0% for the U.S. Business customers paid 10.55 ¢ in 2015 and 14.01 ¢ in 2024, a gap to homes of -3.87 ¢ then and -5.29 ¢ now; industry went from 7.02 to 8.26 ¢ (+17.7%). Reliability changed little at the 10 Michigan utilities that report in both years: their median SAIDI went from 148 minutes in 2015 to 157 in 2024, +6%, against a U.S. median reporter of 99. DTE Electric Company is the largest by accounts with 2,283,306, 44.9% of the 5,086,705 accounts in Michigan, and the top three hold 84.7%.

Michigan ranks 12th of 51 on residential price (19.30 ¢), mid-table, and 17.1% over the national average. Since 2015 the residential price moved +33.8% against +30.3% nationally, so Michigan has stayed close to the national pace, within 3.6 points.

Businesses pay 5.29 ¢ less than households here (-27.4%); business is under home price in 51 of 51. The median of 18 reporting utilities is 103.8 SAIDI minutes, 1.04 times the national median. The top three utilities hold 88.8% of accounts, so a few reliability records set the state picture.

By revenue, Michigan electricity splits 46.1% residential, 37.2% commercial and 16.7% industrial; by kWh the split is 33.8%, 37.6% and 28.6%. Residential accounts are the largest revenue source here. Home accounts are 88.8% of 5,086,703 accounts and use 618 kWh a month, a commercial account 5,490 and an industrial one 409,143.
