Project completed August 2013.

As part of its 2012 general rate case, Consumers Energy sought approval and cost recovery for the installation of emission controls at its five largest coal units, representing 1,860 MW, in order to comply with various federal and state environmental regulations. Synapse reviewed the Consumers Energy proposal to determine if it was reasonable, and provided testimony on behalf of Olson, Bzdok & Howard, Michigan Environmental Council, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
