Posted: May 5, 2023
Consumers Energy is modernizing thier natural gas system by replacing about 55 miles of transmission pipeline in Washtenaw, Livingston, Ingham, Shiawassee and Clinton counties.

The two-phase, $550 million project will replace vintage 20-inch pipeline dating back to the 1940s with new 36-inch pipeline that help move natural gas more quickly, safely and efficiently.

Construction will start in 2023. Each construction phase must be complete in time for the upcoming heating season.

This work is part of the Natural Gas Delivery Plan, a 10-year road map to a system that is even more safe, reliable, affordable and clean.

Phase 1:
Chelsea to Williamston, 30 miles

Phase 2:
Williamston to Ovid, 25 miles
