5/17 8 pm Restoration Update

Update: 5/17/2025 8:05 PM ET

WHAT’S NEW: 

  • Indiana Michigan Power’s (I&M) storm restoration team has restored power to 95% of those impacted from Thursday’s storm and 94% of customers who lost service after Friday’s storm.
  • As of 7:30 p.m., approximately 2,300 customers from both storm events remain without power, down from a peak of around 45,000 customers.
  • I&M’s storm restoration team will continue to work throughout the night to restore customers who are still without power.
  • More than 2,000 lineworkers, tree trimming experts, damage assessors, mutual assistance personnel, contractors and behind-the-scenes support staff spent Saturday working safely and quickly to return power to customers across our service area.
  • Due to both storms, I&M damage assessors discovered more than 160 broken or damaged poles and more than 240 individual spans of downed wires in southwest Michigan. Meanwhile in Indiana, more than 30 broken or damaged poles and 55 individual spans of downed wires were found.

RECEIVE RESTORATION UPDATES:

As crews begin work on individual outages, a more specific estimated time of restoration will be communicated. Stay connected and informed with the following:

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Please be aware, as crews work to safely repair the electrical system additional outages may occur.
  • Customers should determine if their home can receive power. I&M cannot connect power to a home or business if there is damage to the service entrance, which is owned by the customer. A licensed electrician must repair damage before power can be restored. Learn more about the responsibilities of a property owner and I&M here. 
  • I&M urges the public to remain a safe distance away from crews restoring power. Our team is working near dangerous equipment, often in clearly marked safe areas. Please be alert in work zones and give enough room to keep crews safe as they work to restore power.
  • As customers survey their property, please treat any downed lines as energized. Call local police to report any hazards or call I&M immediately at 1-800-311-4634.
