Track current power outages in Sterling Heights, Michigan — customers reported out, restoration progress, active weather alerts, and an independent restoration estimate. Sterling Heights is a city in Macomb County; when the serving utility's public feed reports Sterling Heights directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time, with the county-wide view as context.
Who serves Sterling Heights — and how this estimate works
Serving utilities tracked for Macomb County include DTE Electric (Detroit, MI), Midwest Energy & Communications (MI). The estimate uses changes in the reported outage count, restoration progress, current weather, outage size, and available local history. It is independent and unofficial — when a utility posts an official restoration time, both are shown separately. We score our own estimates against what actually happened on the accuracy page. Outages below 5 customers are too small for a meaningful area-wide estimate — the page says so instead of guessing.

How do I report a power outage in Sterling Heights, MI?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports.

Does this page show Sterling Heights specifically, or the whole county?
Both. When your serving utility's public feed reports Sterling Heights directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time; otherwise it shows the Macomb County county-wide view, which still covers Sterling Heights.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when power actually came back, and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
