Consumers Energy Reliability Action Plan

planned

Consumers Energy is implementing a Reliability Roadmap to reduce power outages, aiming to limit outages to no more than 24 hours and prevent outages impacting more than 100,000 customers. The plan includes trimming trees near power lines, installing new utility poles, expanding underground power lines, and using smart technology to detect and respond to outages faster. In 2025, the company replaced over 32,000 poles, inspected over 26,000 miles of lines, and performed preventative tree cutting on more than 8,000 miles of power lines.
