Michigan HB4977 requires electric utilities to disclose power outage information on customer bills.

Michigan HB4977 amends the Public Utilities Act to mandate that electric utilities disclose specific power outage information on customer bills. This includes the number of service interruptions, total interruption hours, and momentary interruptions during each billing cycle. The Michigan Public Service Commission can impose fines of up to $1,000 per violation if an electric utility fails to comply. Additionally, the commission must publish detailed outage data annually, including grid hardening projects and the top 20% worst-performing circuits.
