In this episode of Behind the Meter: an MPSC Podcast, we’re taking a closer look at propane—an essential energy source for thousands of Michigan homes, farms, and businesses. With winter always on the horizon in a state like ours, ensuring a steady, affordable propane supply is critical.

We’re joined by Andrew Vanderboegh, Chairman of the Michigan Propane Commission, who shares insights on how propane is stored, distributed, and priced across the state. We’ll also hear from Alex Morese, Manager of the Energy Security Section at the Michigan Public Service Commission, who explains the role of the MPSC in monitoring propane readiness and coordinating emergency response during supply disruptions.

Whether you rely on propane or are simply interested in how Michigan ensures energy resilience, this episode covers what you need to know to stay informed—and stay warm.
