Jackson, Mich. — Consumers Energy has set a goal to help about 25,000 households and 1,000 small businesses with energy bill assistance to the tune of $12 million.
“We stand with Michigan and are working around the clock to help our friends and neighbors through a time like no other,” said Patti Poppe, Consumers Energy’s president and chief executive officer. “Our company’s $12 million contribution will provide a lifeline to many families and businesses, helping them stay on their feet until we can defeat the pandemic and Michigan can fully reopen.”
The best way for people to get help is to call 2-1-1, a free service that connects people with nonprofit agencies in their communities, including the new financial help that Consumers Energy is announcing. If a Consumers Energy customer is struggling to pay a. bill, they also can call 1-800-477-5050.
Tune in to WKHM – Jackson’s NewsTalk 970AM/101.5FM this Wednesday morning, September 30th, between 6am and 10am to hear from Patti Poppe about this commitment live on “AM Jackson” with Greg O’Connor.
