Electric Delivery Service

Tree Maintenance

Do you have trees in or near the Consumers Energy's electric lines that need trimmed or cut down?

Every year tree limbs grow into the Cooperative's lines and cause problems in delivering uninterrupted grid electric service. Another problem created by tree limbs is blinking lights.

A right-of-way clear of trees and brush is essential for the efficient and safe operation of distribution power lines. Trees and limbs in contact with electric lines may cause power outages, become potential fire hazards, and/or endanger the lives of children climbing those trees.

Help us — help you. If you see an area on your property that looks like the trees could cause a problem with the Consumers Energy's lines or if you notice brush or trees in the power lines, please report it to us as soon as possible.. Under some circumstances, we are willing to cut trees and brush as a service to our members. Please contact Jim Kidd at 800-696-6552 or e-mail him at jkidd@consumersenergy.coop to make arrangements.

PLEASE LOOK UP BEFORE YOU PLANT TREES. Our electric right-of-way needs 20 feet on both sides of the line and the ground cleared in order to ensure adequate quality and reliability. Your assistance is appreciated.
