The Michigan Public Service Commission is making utility data easier to access, understand and use.

 

In this episode of Behind the Meter, we explore Regulatory Transparency by Design and the MPSC’s first-in-the-nation online transparency tool, which gives the public greater access to customer and electric reliability data that was once spread across regulatory filings and technical reports.

 

Learn how customers can use the data to better understand utility performance, how MPSC staff use it to identify trends and strengthen oversight, and why greater access to information can lead to better questions, better decisions, and better outcomes for Michigan customers.

 

Transparency isn’t simply about making data public—it’s about making information accessible, understandable, and useful.
