Michigan: official power outage sources
Consumers Energy and DTE Electric serve most of the Lower Peninsula. Other investor-owned companies, about ten electric cooperatives and dozens of city and village utilities serve the rest, including much of the Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) lists contacts and outage pages for providers across the state.
