Item 8.01. Other Matters.

 

On June 23, 2022, the Michigan Public Service Commission approved Consumers Energy Company’s (“Consumers”) integrated resource plan (“IRP”) settlement agreement with a diverse group of stakeholders. Consumers’ IRP provides a 20-year blueprint to meet Michigan’s energy needs while protecting the environment for future generations. This approval clears the way for Consumers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation (“CMS Energy”), to stop burning coal to generate electricity by 2025 — 15 years faster than previously planned — and provide reliable electricity for Michigan. The News Release is attached as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated by reference herein. 

 

Investors and others should note that CMS Energy routinely posts important information on its website and considers the Investor Relations section, www.cmsenergy.com/investor-relations, a channel of distribution.
