Consumers Energy is responsible for power lines to your house, but the homeowner is responsible for the connection to the house as you can see in the photo above.  If this happens (see below), you will need a licensed electrician to reconnect power to your house.

Consumers Energy has helpful information on their website at https://www.consumersenergy.com/outagemap.  At that location, you’ll find a button to report an outage, and a map that will show you where the outages are located.
