the Court of Appeals are considered, and they are GRANTED, limited to: (1) whether 

“transmission costs” may be included in the power supply cost recovery factor, MCL 

460.6j(1)(a) and (b); and (2) whether the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that the 

Michigan Public Service Commission’s decision to prohibit recovery of the control 

premium that DTE Energy paid to acquire MCN Energy by including the premium in 

Detroit Edison’s rates was not supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence 

on the whole record. Const 1963, art 6, § 28; In re Complaint of Rovas Against SBC 

Michigan, 482 Mich 90 (July 23, 2008) (Docket Nos. 134493, 134500), slip op at 11-12. 

We further ORDER that these cases be argued and submitted to the Court together 

with the case of Attorney General v Michigan Public Service Commission (Docket 

No. 136431), at such future session of the Court as these cases are ready for submission.

I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
