Consumers Energy has made plans to keep the lights on at polling locations Tuesday.
Strong winds with gusts up to 40-50 miles an hour are forecast for Election Day, which brings the potential for power outages across the region and state. Consumers has crews ready to respond through the day, taking additional steps to ensure the voting process is not interrupted. In case an electric outage or natural gas leak affects a polling place in Consumers Energy’s service area, those locations should call 800-805-0490 to speak with a business customer specialist. This phone number will be available throughout the day.
Consumers’ staff stands ready to help report issues, dispatch crews and restore service as quickly as possible.
