Consumers Energy prepares for more potential power outages due to winter weather

JACKSON, MI (WTVB) – Consumers Energy is again preparing crews to be ready to restore power ahead of a second strong storm that will end
2025 with powerful winds and the potential for power outages.

The energy provider is alerting the public to be ready for winds above 50 mph that will start late tonight and continue through Monday afternoon.

Consumers Energy will mobilize nearly 500 crews to start restoring power as of 10:00 p.m. when gusts start in Southern Michigan and then continue statewide.

Crews from Consumers Energy and Michigan contractors are preparing to work after restoring power to 90,000 customers affected by Friday’s ice
storm. The new storm should deliver high winds and varying amounts of snow across the state.

Consumers Energy urges people to be careful when driving and watch for crews working along roads.
