JACKSON, MI (WTVB) – Consumers Energy will be sending over 60 of its employees to Florida this weekend in advance of Hurricane Dorian.
The Consumers employees will be working with the host utility Florida Power & Light.
They are expected to leave for Florida this weekend and may remain there for up to three weeks.
The Florida energy provider made the crew request via a collection of regional mutual assistance networks operated by electric utilities. Consumers Energy is part of the Great Lakes Mutual Assistance organization.
Crews from six states assisted Consumers crews in July as over 220,000 customers lost their power.
