What You Need to Know About Electric Outage Credits 

Downed Power Lines: Stay Away. Stay Alive. Call (800) 477-5050, press 1, or call your local law enforcement agency. When reporting a downed wire, please provide an exact location, such as an address or cross street, and the city or township. 

Electric Service Mast: Please check the electric service mast or cable above the meter. Consumers Energy crews will reconnect the wires to your home, but only a licensed electrician can repair or replace a mast or cable.

Home Generator Safety: A generator that is not connected or operated properly poses a serious safety risk to you, your neighbors and to utility crews restoring your power. It can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, a fire or even death. Contact a licensed electrical contractor for help when installing a permanent or portable generator.    View Home Generator Safety brochure.
