STATE OF MICHIGAN BEFORE THE MICHIGAN

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

NOTICE OF HEARING CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY

CASE NO. U-17735 The Michigan Public SeJVice Commission will review Consumers Energy Company's request to adjust its rates in three stages to produce net additional electric revenue of approximately $163 mi[[ion annually by May 31,2016 and incremental increases in 2017 and 2018 above current base electric rate levels. The Company's proposal, as part of the three stage increase could result in a maximum {2016] revenue increase amount of $201 million prior to the Company's final revenue increase of $163 million. Consumers Energy Company also seeks approval to implement or modify several cost recovery mechanisms or proposals. The information below describes how a person may participate in this case.

You may call or write Consumers Energy Company, One Energy Plaza, Jackson, Michigan 49201, (800) 477~5050 for a free copy of its application. Any person may review the documents at the offices of Consumers Energy Company.

A public hearing will be held:

DATE/TIME:

BEFORE:

Wednesday, January 14,2015, at 9:00a.m. This hearing will be a prehearing conference to set future hearing dates and decide other procedural matters. Administrative Law Judge Mark E. Cummins

LOCATION: Michigan Public Service Commission 7109 West Saginaw Highway Lansing, Michigan

PARTICIPATION: Any interested person may attend and participate. The hearing site is accessible, including handicapped parking. Persons needing any accommodation to participate should contact the Commission's Executive Secretary at (517) 241-6160 in advance to request mobility, visual, hearing or other assistance.

The Michigan Public Service Commission (Commission) will hold a public hearing to consider Consumers Energy Company's (Consumers Energy) December 5, 2014 application, which seeks Commission's approval to adjust its existing retail electric rates in three stages to provide net additional revenues of approximately $163 million annually by May 31, 2016, to implement or modify several cost recovery mechanisms or proposals. Consumers Energy represents that the Company's proposal includes an Investment Recovery Mechanism that includes incremental revenue increases, subject to reconciliation, of $163 million for 2017 and an additional $78 million for 2018 above levels reflected in test year rates. Consumers Energy also seeks approval to terminate its current Power Plant Bill Credit associated with the Company's July 2014 securitization financing. Consumers Energy states that factors contributing to the requested increase include: (i) the purchase of a 540 megawatt combined cycle natural gas plant located in Jackson, Michigan; (ii) ongoing investments in electric utility generation and distribution assets to comply with environmental and legal requirements; (iii) ongoing investments in electric utility generation and distribution assets to provide safe and reliable service; (iv) ongoing investments in technology improvements, including investments associated with the Company's Smart Grid (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) project; and (v) increased Operations and Maintenance expenses necessary to improve the reliability of service to customers.

Consumers Energy is also requesting Commission approval to design rates aligned with the requirements of Public Act 169 of 2014 and the Commission's related order. Consumers Energy represents that the Company's proposed rates will result in an annual residential class increase in jurisdictional revenues of approximately 10.5%, an annual secondary class increase of approximately 5.9%, and an annual primary class decrease of approximately 6.5%.

All documents filed in this case shall be submitted electronically through the Commission's E- Dockets website at michiqan.qov/ mpscedockets.
