Yet MISO’s projection does not include plans for any new power plants. A future without new plants isn’t likely. Anderson’s point, though, is that it takes utilities at least four years — if not longer — to plan for a new power plant. Anderson said DTE could be ready to pursue a new natural gas plant by 2020 or 2021. His concerns, which are shared by leaders of Jackson-based Consumers Energy, get at the heart of one of the most hotly contested pieces of the bills pending in the state Legislature: electric choice.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE on their electricity bills in exchange for having service interrupted when demand runs high? Interruptables are part of our reserve margin, so that’s one way to create a reserve — if you’ve got people who say, “Well, I can go o .” We also take home- owners and cycle their electricity. We actually have the ability to punch o homes’ air conditioners. ... We’ll cycle it, 15 minutes o , 15 minutes on. And then there are (industrial users) who will also agree to be punched o . So the rst step, and what would have happened here, our rst step would have been to punch those people o . But here’s the issue, is when industrials sign up for that service, they don’t sign up to be interrupted because 10 percent of the market is not being covered. ey sign up thinking we’re going to establish a viable 15 percent reserve margin and my odds of being interrupted are low. When people sign up for a discount, they should expect to be interrupted. But they shouldn’t expect to be interrupted a whole lot more than they signed up for because somebody else is failing to cover their part of the load requirement.

Is your goal ultimately for Michigan to return to a fully regulated market? I don’t want to say this the wrong way — I care about it for reliability, but for our prots, I don’t care about it.
