Consumers Energy Co. is currently working to restore power to customers across Michigan following a series of severe weather events, including high winds, snow, and ice storms. Over 400 crews have been deployed to address outages caused by recent storms that affected approximately 90,000 customers. The company is prioritizing regions from Big Rapids to Midland, where ice has already caused significant damage. Consumers Energy is urging the public to practice safety around downed power lines and to avoid using generators in enclosed areas due to carbon monoxide risks. Restoration projections are temporarily delayed as crews assess ongoing weather impacts, and customers are encouraged to check outage updates online or sign up for alerts.
