Consumers Energy Removes Retired, De-Energized Cables in the Straits of Mackinac
The 46 kilovolt cables had been de-energized since their retirement in 1990. They were among the infrastructure damaged by an alleged anchorstrike from a tugboat and barge a couple of years ago. The anchorstrike also damaged active electric transmission cables owned by American Transmission Company and the Enbridge Energy Line 5 pipeline.
Consumers Energy said it salvaged and recycled materials from the removed cables to the extent that it could.
