## Overview
CMS Energy Corporation is a Michigan-based energy provider featuring Consumers Energy as its primary regulated utility business, with additional independent power generation operations.

CMS Energy Corporation announced the completion of a strategic review at its NorthStar Clean Energy subsidiary. The company is exiting non-utility renewables development while retaining Michigan-based assets, including Dearborn Industrial Generation (DIG) and four Michigan-based solar projects (~0.5 GW). The restructuring is targeted for completion by year-end 2026 and is expected to simplify the business, reduce financing needs by $500M+ through 2030, and shift the company toward nearly 100% utility-based earnings after 2027.
