Michigan’s statewide average price of electricity for industrial users in July was eight cents per kilowatt hour, only slightly lower than Wisconsin (8.29 cents) and Minnesota (8.77 cents) in the Great Lakes region. Ohio (6.63 cents), Kentucky (6.06 cents) and Tennessee (5.85 cents) have lower average rates for industrial users. Michigan energy industry officials note utility companies can offer rates below the statewide average for large-volume industrial users with lower fixed cost of service.
