Microsoft's public stance on protecting residential customers aligns with CMS's own tariff design, suggesting a cooperative dynamic for large load customers.
Доказательства

The $24B 5-year capex plan excludes all data center-related spending; securing even one 1GW data center customer could add $2.5B-$5B+ in incremental investment, increasing the 10.5% rate base CAGR.
Доказательства
“The data center is not yet reflected in our five-year customer investment plan.”
The parent company has ~$1.7B of debt refinancing over the plan horizon at higher interest rates, which is a non-recoverable cost that will drag on EPS growth, partially offsetting strong utility rate base growth.
Доказательства
“we've got about $1.7 billion of parent refinancings over the course of this five-year plan. And it's important to remember that unlike the prior sort of 15 years... money is no longer free.”
CMS's large load tariff protects existing customers, and with a 1GW data center load, it could reduce the residential bill CAGR by ~2 points, creating a political and affordability advantage.
Доказательства
“if we can also convert, not even all, but just a portion of this economic development backlog... that drives about two points of reduction in that bill CAGR”
