Encoded from the same tariff book, on the same day. Which one
you are on is on your bill; which one you are eligible for is set by the
utility, not by this page.
Transcription notes recorded when this tariff was encoded, including anything deliberately left out.
Michigan, not California: no baseline territories or climate zones. Rates are the same statewide across DTE's service area.
Total energy rate = Power Supply Capacity + Power Supply Non-Capacity + Distribution, all stated separately on the filed sheet.
Service Charge $8.50/month.
Rates are filed in CENTS per kWh and converted here. DTE's whole book uses cents; PG&E and SCE use dollars. Mixing the two silently would be a 100x error, so the conversion is explicit and asserted in the golden tests.
Capacity energy is tiered at 17 kWh PER DAY: 2.940c below, 4.239c above. Non-capacity (5.842c) and distribution (9.726c) apply to all kWh, so the totals are 0.18508 and 0.19807.
The 17 kWh/day tier is a daily allowance like California's baseline, so a 31-day month allows 527 kWh at the lower rate.
THE SURCHARGES ARE NOW ENCODED, AND THEY WERE 14.5% OF THE BILL. This tariff previously excluded the C8.5 and C9.8 surcharges because the rate schedule sheet cites them without inline values. They are tabulated per schedule elsewhere in the same rate book. Before they were added a 1,000 kWh bill came to $199.85 against the Michigan PSC's published $233.76.
