GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Consumers Energy has restored power to nearly half of the nearly 250,000 homes in Michigan that lost power during this weekend’s storms, but the company has pushed back its estimation for when power will be restored for many others.
Initially slated for Monday, new projections push the complete restoration estimate back two full days to Wednesday.
Consumers Executive Director of Community Engagement Josh Burgett blamed the delay partially on a barrage of storms, one after another.
“Mother Nature hasn’t been cooperating with us,” Burgett said.
Consumers has brought in additional crews from as far away as Missouri and the Carolinas to helprestore power.
It also passed out water Sunday in Georgetown Township, one of the hardest hit areas.
“We’re trying doing our part here in Jenison but all across the state, also,” Burgett said. “We just ask that people check on your neighbors. Make sure everybody’s OK because we just want to make sure we take care of our neighbors.”
