- Extended working hours and increased resources to complete critical reliability projects faster
- Comprehensive system upgrades including smart grid technology implementation
- Track record of over 1,350 major upgrades and 7,000 miles of tree clearing in 2024
- Proactive maintenance approach to prevent winter service disruptions
- Potential temporary traffic disruptions and noise outside business hours
- System requires significant infrastructure improvements indicating aging equipment
"Our customers count on us for safe, reliable service year-round," said Chris Fultz, Consumers Energy's vice president of low voltage distribution. "As we enter the final months of the year, we're extending work hours so we can complete critical reliability projects ahead of cold temperatures."
To support this ramp-up, Consumers Energy is also increasing resources and working hours, allowing more hands on deck to complete essential upgrades faster and more efficiently.
The work includes:
- Upgrading poles, lines, and transformers.
- Proactive tree trimming near power lines.
- Replacing equipment nearing the end of its service life.
- Installing smart grid technology to reduce outage times.
While crews are on site, traffic may be briefly affected and residents may hear work-related noise outside of typical business hours. All workers and contractors will have clearly marked vehicles and identification.
The expanded schedule will allow more projects to be completed in less time, helping to prevent outages and service disruptions during the harshest months of the year.
"We appreciate our customers' patience as we work to strengthen the system," said Fultz. "Completing this work now ensures we're well-positioned to deliver reliable service through the end of the year and beyond."
In 2024, Consumers Energy carried out over 1,350 major upgrades and along 7,000 miles of electric lines last year. With the increased efforts in the last part of the year, we are on track to surpass last year's numbers.
