HESPERIA – Consumers Energy will temporarily interrupt power to 2,347 customers in Hesperia later this week as it coordinates upgrades with Wolverine Power Cooperative to provide more reliable electric service. The work will last from 10 p.m. Friday, March 21, until as late as 6 a.m. the next morning.
“We appreciate the patience of our customers and the coordination with Wolverine Power Cooperative for this important work,” said Chris Laird, Consumers Energy’s vice president of electric distribution. “We understand that work like this can be an inconvenience for our customers, but it’s critical to reduce the number and length of power outages through our Reliability Roadmap.”
Crews from Consumers Energy and Wolverine Power Cooperative will work overnight to upgrade the area’s electric grid, including connection points between their systems. The approximate area of the outage is south of 10 Mile Road, west of N. Baldwin Avenue and north of McKinley Road.
Consumers Energy often schedules work like this overnight, when many people are asleep, to minimize disruptions to businesses or other activities. If work needs to be rescheduled, the backup date is Friday, March 28, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Customers should call Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050 if they have questions or concerns.
