Electricity consumption by customers enrolled in Michigan's electric choice program declined by 58 megawatts (MW) in 2020, reflecting decreased electricity use by commercial and industrial customers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Michigan Public Service Commission's annual Status of Electric Competition report. Choice customers had about 1,958 MW of electric demand, down from 2,016 MW in 2019, while the number of customers participating in the program also declined to 5,706 from 5,817 during the same period, the report found. Nearly all electric choice participants are commercial and industrial customers such as large manufacturers, retailers, health care facilities, restaurants and schools. Given the decline in demand, utilities may adjust future participation levels based on availability.
