Our Crews are On Site and Working around the Clock

As our crews work across the state to restore power from last weekend's storm, we're also preparing teams, equipment, and supplies for another round of storms.

Restoration Work in Progress

We’re continuing to restore power in the hardest hit areas of ice-covered Northern Michigan. Trees, roads, power lines, and service trucks were coated with as much as an inch of ice.

How We Prioritize Restoring Power

  • Public safety is our top priority.

  • Community services such as hospitals, fire and police stations are often restored first.

  • Communication is Key: TV and radio are prioritized for emergency communications.

Keeping Safe During Storms

Read more

If you see a downed wire, please stay at least 25 feet away from it, and anything it is touching. Once you're safe, call 911. Then call us at 800-477-5050.

Don’t play with fire. Skip the candles: don’t use candles during a storm, as they can be a major fire hazard.

Never use a generator in an attached garage, basement, enclosed patio or near air intakes. Doing so could result in hazardous levels of carbon monoxide.

How We Prepare for Storms

Mobile Storm Units

Our mobile storm units are ready to supply essential equipment to the heart of outages, to get your power back on as quickly as possible.

Safety Volunteers

Hundreds of our employees volunteer to help ensure safety during a storm by serving as downed wire guards.

Employee Training
