Birmingham/Bloomfield Area Residents Face 8 Hour Planned Power Outage Sunday
(City of Birmingham, June 17, 2023)
Birmingham, MI – An extended, planned outage will take place this Sunday, June 18 at 10 p.m. and will last for eight (8) hours. The outage map is included below.
During the February ice storms, DTE’s Westchester substation located in Bloomfield Township experienced significant damage. All permanent repairs have been made with the exception of one piece of equipment. Because of the nature of the work that is required, DTE will need to de-energize the entire substation; if it were to remain energized, it presents a significant electrical hazard to DTE workers.
All customers served by this substation will be affected by this outage,including customers in Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Birmingham, and Bloomfield Township. DTE will be sending voice messages to all affected customers using the phone number that they’ve provided to us, on Friday, June 16 beginning at 12:00 p.m.
DTE understands that this outage will be a great inconvenience to some and thanks you for your understanding. If you have any questions regarding this planned outage, please contact DTE at (800) 477-4747.
