On Wednesday, activists and residents from across the Detroit community rallied in Highland Park to urge Michigan lawmakers to pass legislation to ensure accountability following power outages. […] Under the proposed legislation, a $5 credit per hour would automatically be applied to customer bills to reimburse residents for losses from food, medicine, and more. After 72 hours without power, that credit would increase to $25 per hour. If customers experience several outages in a six-month span, they would be credited $100. […] In 2021, DTE Energy reported earnings of more than $1 billion.
