Consumers Energy today received the green light to carry out new upgrades to secure Michigan's electric grid, a major investment that will keep the lights on more dependably for close to 2 million Michigan homes and businesses. The company's 2026 Reliability Action Plan provides the dollars that will power grid improvements across communities like Grand Rapids, Flint, Lansing and Northern Michigan, which have been recovering from this month's massive winter storm.
