Transferring Credits to an EWR Compliance Sub-Account

Michigan Utility Service Providers will make transfers to their EWR Compliance Sub-Account to mirror and support their annual compliance filing with the Michigan Public Services Commission.

EWR Compliance Sub-Account

EWR Compliance Sub-Accounts are automatically created annually in MIRECS and a separate Compliance Sub-Account will be created for each compliance year.

Following the automated creation of the EWR Compliance Sub-Account, Michigan Utility Service Providers can proceed to transfer EWR Credits to their EWR Compliance Sub-Accounts.
