Consumers Energy

Last year, Consumers Energy announced their Reliability Roadmap – a guide to how we will improve our reliability and deliver two big goals to our customers:

• No single outage affects more than 100,000 customers.
• All customers have power restored within 24 hours after an outage event.

"While we are making progress, we will not achieve these goals overnight or even this year – in fact they are long-term goals that will take multiple years, and many big and small wins along the way. This year in Bay County, we will invest $2,540,000 in our Substations as well as High and Low Voltage Distribution Systems."

Consumers Energy is proud to support the mission of Bay Area Energize. Retaining and attracting young talent is crucial for economic growth in Bay County and our state as a whole.
