In re application of CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY for 2011 reconciliation

-1- Appellants,

v No. 316868 MPSC MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, LC No. 00-016432-R

Petitioner-Appellee.

BEFORE: RONAYNE KRAUSE, P.J., AND WILDER AND STEPHENS, JJ.

WILDER, J., (concurring in part and dissenting in part) I join with the majority in the analysis and result reached in part V of the majority opinion which holds that MCL 460.6a(8) “should be construed to mean that annual adjustments to the $1,000,000 cap shall be calculated by applying the CPI rate for the PSCR year at issue to the $1,000,000 cap as adjusted in prior years, or by applying the cumulative CPI rate from 2009 forward to the $1,000,000 cap.” However, I respectfully disagree and dissent from the analysis and outcome reached in part IV of the majority opinion. Rather, I agree with Judge Whitbeck’s dissent in Application of Consumers Energy Co for Reconciliation of 2009 Costs (On Reconsideration), 307 Mich App 32; 859 NW2d 216 (2014), and also would find that the “NOx requirements were not implemented until 2009 because they were not effective until 2009,” and that “[t]herefore, the exception in MCL 460.6a(8) applied to TES Filer.”
