     DEARBORN, Mich., June 5, 1997 - Consumers Energy, the principal
subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE:CMS) announced that the
Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today issued an order related to
the restructuring of the electric power industry in Michigan.

     The MPSC order largely endorses, although with some modification, the
restructuring plan developed by the MPSC Staff which reflects the
principles and concepts for restructuring espoused by Michigan Governor
John Engler and the Michigan Jobs Commission.

     The key elements of the plan include:

     - recovery of transition costs through a transmission surcharge for
all retail customers who choose alternate generation suppliers;

     - securitization of the surcharge revenue stream to provide for
customer rate reductions;

     - an annual phase-in of 150 megawatts (2.5 percent of the utility's
load) of competition beginning later in 1997 through the year 2001;

     - the ability of any utility retail customer beginning in the year
2002 to choose their electric generator.

     The Company is studying the details of the MPSC's order and will have
additional comments in the future.

     The MPSC order endorsing a restructuring plan is the first major step
in the process of electric restructuring which will also require action on
a number of elements of the plan by the Michigan Legislature.  Legislative
hearings began in April, with action by the Legislature expected this
fall.

     CMS Energy Corporation is a $4.8 billion (sales), $9 billion (asset)
international energy company operating throughout the U.S. and in 15

operations; independent power production; natural gas pipelines and
