More than 300 of our crews will be working through the night, stepping into the dark to restore power after strong storms swept across the state tonight. Those high winds—reaching over 70 mph in some areas—are expected to continue through 5 a.m. Tuesday, making restoration work challenging and, at times, dangerous. Our lineworkers are trained for these conditions, but safety always comes first. Please stay far away from downed power lines and trees, and assume anything on the ground could be energized. If you’re traveling, please stay alert and slow down when you see crews and equipment along the roads. Every flashing light marks someone working to bring power back—and a family waiting for them at home. Michigan, you can count on us this storm season: restoring power as safely and quickly as conditions allow.

As crews continue restoration work across the state, we're keeping safety top of mind. We greatly appreciate your patience as our teams continue to work through restoration. As that work continues, we want to share the following important safety reminders: 🧊 Melting ice can cause tree branches to snap suddenly 📏 If you see downed wires, keep your distance. Stay at least 25 feet away, call 9-1-1, then call us at 800-477-5050 🔌Practice generator safety. Keep generators away from enclosed areas, and never use a generator in an attached garage, basement, enclosed patio or near any air intakes 🚚 Give our crews safe space to work. Drivers should slow down or stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear so they can go safely past.

After Sunday's brutal winter storm, our crews have worked around the clock, restoring service to more than 100,000 Michiganders like you. With over 700 crews working 16-hour shifts, we're committed to safely getting everyone back up and running as efficiently as possible. In hard-hit areas up north, we're positioning mobile command centers and an emergency response unit, bringing aid where it's needed the most. As we continue restoration efforts, please keep the following safety tips in mind: ⚠️ Stay at least 25 feet away from downed power lines, and report unguarded downed lines by calling 9-1-1 and Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050. Consumers Energy reminds people that falsely calling in downed lines actually slows down the restoration process for everyone.  🪫 Never use a generator in an attached garage, basement, enclosed patio or near any air intakes. Doing so could cause a generator to produce hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. 🌳 Consumers Energy will trim or remove trees interfering with electric restoration activities. Once safe to do so, cleanup of debris from tree trimming or removal during a storm emergency is the responsibility of individual property owners.
