Consumers CEO under fire at annual meeting

September 3, 2010

Several members of the Consumers Energy Cooperative called for the ouster of CEO Brian Heithoff at an annual meeting Thursday, saying that their rates were too high and the company was being mismanaged. “I don’t want to wake up in the morning and not have power because someone made a stupid decision,” said Bill Anderson, a member from the Marshalltown area. Susan Clifford, a resident of Ankeny, said there is a line in the city where development is stunted because of the difference in cost of energy on one side versus the other. MidAmerican Energy services part of the city and Consumers Energy services another portion. “We want what’s fair,” said Susan Clifford, of Ankeny. “We live two blocks away from people who pay significantly less than we do.” Two other Ankeny residents also spoke at the meeting, saying they, too, were paying a premium just to be part of the Consumers Energy Cooperative. One said if she had a choice, she would most certainly opt out of it.
