SOLON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — More than 1,000 people in northern Kent County are without power Tuesday.
Consumers Energy crews are working to get the power back on to 1,472 customers after services went out around 11:20 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Consumers Energy’s outage map.
Earlier, 5,593 customers were without power but the majority of people had services restored around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Consumers Energy spokesman Roger Morgenstern said the remaining customers should have power by 2:30 p.m.
Morgenstern said an equipment failure just outside a substation in Cedar Springs caused the outage. Crews are still investigating why the failure occurred.
