Keeping costs low
Consumers Energy works to keep heating costs low for Michigan homes and businesses:
The price that customers pay for natural gas is nearly 60 percent lower than a decade ago.
Consumers Energy keeps prices low by buying gas when it costs less in the summer and storing it the company's underground storage system, the largest of its type in the nation. The gas can then be used in the winter, helping Consumers Energy avoid buying gas that would be more expensive.
