Michigan SB1170 establishes utility power outage credits for customers based on the duration of service interruptions.

Michigan SB1170 sets forth a system for providing credits to customers whose utility service is interrupted. For residential customers, credits are determined by the length of the interruption, ranging from $5 for the first hour to $25 for every hour of interruption of 72 hours or more. Nonresidential customers receive credits based on a formula involving outage hours and average hourly load. The Public Service Commission is responsible for adjusting these credits every five years based on the Consumer Price Index.
