"We want to thank our customers in advance for their patience," Steve Herrygers, Consumers Energy's senior executive director of high voltage distribution, said in a statement. "We need to interrupt power briefly tonight to ensure the safety of our equipment and the people we serve. If we don't make these repairs now, we risk an unexpected power outage that we can't control."
