1 This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. They should be read in conjunction with "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION" and "RISK FACTORS" sections of CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 and as updated in subsequent 10-Qs. CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION" and "RISK FACTORS" sections are incorporated herein by reference and discuss important factors that could cause CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The presentation also includes non-GAAP measures when describing CMS Energy's results of operations and financial performance. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix and posted on our website at www.cmsenergy.com. CMS Energy expects 2010 reported earnings to be about the same as adjusted earnings. Reported earnings could vary because of several factors. CMS Energy is not providing reported earnings guidance reconciliation because of the uncertainties associated with those factors.

FINAL ELECTRIC RATE CASE U-16191*

On November 4, 2010, the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) authorized Consumers Energy to increase its base electric rates by $146 million annually with an authorized ROE of 10.7%. The Order approved guidelines for cost recovery of Smart Grid expenditures, required the pre-1983 Department of Energy liability funds to be placed into an external trust within six months, made no changes to the current electric revenue decoupling mechanism, and terminated the uncollectibles expense tracker as of Nov. 30^th, and the forestry tracker immediately. In July, the Company self implemented a $150 million annual rate increase. As a result of the final order, the $4 million reduction from the annual self implemented rates will be refunded to customers in early 2011 after final refund amounts are determined and authorized by Commission order. Overall, customer rates will increase 4.2% versus rates set in the last electric case (U-15645).

GAS RATE CASE U-16418*

On August 13, 2010, Consumers Energy filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission seeking an increase in its gas delivery and transportation rates based on a 2011 test year. The Company requests an authorized ROE of 11%, and proposes a full decoupling mechanism, including weather. If approved, this request would add about $2.95 per month, or about 3.4%, to the typical residential customer’s average monthly bill. The $55 million revenue deficiency is detailed below.
