Why we checked itClaim that Michigan electricity bill increases exceed those of many other states is a specific comparative factual assertion that can be checked against energy cost data
What we foundMichigan electricity bills are demonstrably rising, and per-kWh rates are rising faster than many other states, but average total monthly bills remain below the national average and many neighboring states — making the claim partially accurate but imprecise in implying Michigan bills are higher than most other states.
