A Consumers Energy analysis released today showed the energy provider's customer-centered storm execution resulted in faster restoration times during a vast majority of storms this year. The analysis found Consumers Energy customers spent less time without power during March and June storms than they did in similarly impactful storms in 2023 and 2025. "In the last three years, Consumers Energy has accelerated its investment in tree trimming, installing stronger poles and equipment, grid technology, advanced weather forecasting, and the positioning of crews and delegating resources, which have proven to speed restoration for our customers," said Norm Kapala, one of Consumers Energy's officers in charge of storm response. When damaging winds, snow and ice swept across the state in March 2026, 80% of the 340,000 impacted customers were restored within 24 hours. That's 16% better than an even more impactful storm the March prior and a 26% improvement from the catastrophic February 2023

Consumers Energy is unveiling a new tool to help customers stay informed about natural gas work in their neighborhoods. Crew Check, an online feature, allows the public to input an address to verify Consumers Energy crews are performing natural gas work nearby. The tool will provide a vehicle identification number and, in some cases, a license plate number, to quickly identify the presence of crew members in the area. If more than one vehicle is completing natural gas upgrades, the tool will confirm work is occurring and offer tips to help authenticate a crew member's identity. "Crew Check places information in the hands of customers with just the click of a button," said LeeRoy Wells, Jr., Consumers Energy's president of gas delivery. "Not only does it give them greater insight into where work is being performed, but it also provides customers an added layer of safety and security by being able to identify crews in their neighborhood." Crew Check will confirm all natural gas work

Consumers Energy announced today its commitment to securing the electric grid has resulted in over $90 million invested so far this year in 1,001 reliability projects. 886 additional projects are planned for the months of August through December.

"These projects reaffirm our commitment to securing the electric grid with 75 cents of every customer dollar being invested right back into these necessary replacements and repairs." Consumers Energy prioritizes upgrades in areas with recurring outages and where upgrades can benefit the majority of customers. "At the end of the day, keeping the lights on is job #1
