JACKSON, MI (WTVB) – Consumers Energy President and CEO Garrick Rochow says crews are preparing for a large winter storm that is expected to hit the Great Lakes region with heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and damaging wind gusts that could affect Michigan during the Christmas holiday weekend.

Rochow says “Consumers Energy customers should know we are all-hands-on-deck preparing for this storm. Crews are preparing trucks and essential materials right now to assist with any restoration efforts. We are ready and we’ll work as quickly and as safely as possible to restore any outages this storm may cause.”
