MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) Michigan regulators approved the sale of the Upper Peninsula s largest electric utility to another private owner.
Upper Peninsula Power Co. will join the energy portfolio of Axium Infrastructure, which has offices in New York and Canada. The Marquette-based utility serves roughly 53,000 customers in 10 Michigan counties.
Current rates will not change, and the company agreed to not seek a rate increase that would take effect before Jan. 1, 2023, unless tax rates increase, the Michigan Public Service Commission said Wednesday.
Upper Peninsula Power was part of Integrys Energy before it was acquired by Basalt Infrastructure Partners for $298 million in 2014.

Subscriber only FLEET-footed Western Pride goal scorer Byron McLeod has already experienced highs and lows as a footballer who is just 20 years old. The former premiership-winning Peninsula Power striker/winger has played overseas and broke his collarbone after lining up against his current club as a junior. He rated the latest local derby against the Ipswich Knights one of the toughest matches he has played in. McLeod put his team 2-0 up in the 26th minute after capitalising on a goalmouth scramble. After the Knights powered home threatening to at least salvage a second half draw, Pride newcomer McLeod said his team knew they were in a fierce battle.
