The outage will allow ITC Michigan to upgrade a substation, which Consumers Energy said will improve service to neighbors.

“This work is an investment in reliability for Caledonia, ensuring families and businesses have the energy they need today and for years to come," said Steve Herrygers, senior executive director of high voltage distribution.

Customers who will be impacted by the outage have been sent a postcard in the mail. Anyone with questions can contact Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050.
