It was the biggest 'downed-wire' event in more than a decade, according to Consumers Energy.  Almost an entire week later, thousands are still without power.

If you're a Consumers customer and you're still without power, you may be eligible for a credit.  ConsumersEnergy.com lists the following conditions as qualifiers:

  • Service interrupted for more than 120 hours (five days) during catastrophic conditions (10 percent or more of a utility’s customers affected)
  • Service interrupted for more than 16 hours during normal conditions
  • Service interrupted more than seven times in a 12-month period

Consumers Energy thanks you for your patience as crews, including many out-of-state crews from as far as Kansas, continue to work to get power restored.  Consumers Energy reminds everyone:

    • Stay at least 25 feet away from downed wires -- NEVER touch a downed power line.
    • You can report downed power lines by calling 800-477-5050.
    • Treat all intersections with non-functioning traffic lights as four-way stops.
