Where this data comes from
Numbers on this page come from Consumers Energy's public outage data — the same data behind its official outage map — collected on a rotating cycle (each utility typically refreshes within the hour; the card above shows exactly when these numbers were last collected). This utility's website blocks our main data collector, so we gather its numbers a different way — they refresh on a ~30-minute cycle here. When the utility posts a restoration time we show it as the official estimate; our independent estimate is computed from the outage's own recovery trend and graded publicly. Coverage and level of detail vary by utility: some break out towns and neighborhoods, others publish only county or area totals.

Common questions
How do I report a power outage to Consumers Energy?
Report outages and downed lines directly to Consumers Energy through its official outage site or its outage phone line — crews are dispatched from customer reports. This page is an independent tracker, not affiliated with Consumers Energy; never rely on it for emergencies. In a life-threatening situation, call 911.
Does Consumers Energy give an estimated restoration time?
When Consumers Energy posts an estimated restoration time for an outage, we show it as the official estimate. Alongside it we show our own independent estimate from the outage's live recovery trend — useful when the utility hasn't posted a time yet. Both appear side by side.
Why isn't my outage showing for Consumers Energy?
A brand-new or single-customer outage may not appear in the utility's public data yet, and the level of detail varies — some Consumers Energy data breaks out towns and neighborhoods, other sources publish county or area totals only. If your power is out and it isn't listed, report it to Consumers Energy so it enters their system.
How accurate is the Consumers Energy restoration estimate?
Our independent estimates are graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), published on our accuracy page. Consumers Energy's own posted restoration times are graded there too, so you can compare them.
