Company also hands out rewards to two senior citizens for their volunteer works
Consumers Energy, which is CMS Energy Corporation's (NYSE:CMS) subsidiary, the provider of natural gas and electricity provider, is cooperating with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the installation of buoys in areas where hydropower electric stations are located, albeit at a medium size, to aid in warning residents to stay away from unsafe areas from the downstream hydro facilities to avoid deaths.
Rich Castle, Consumers Energy's administrator of natural resource division, which is responsible for hydropower operations, has stated that that the plan involves installing buoys initially at Foote and Cooke dams before eventually spreading it out to other dams in the Michigan area,13 in total, once it is decided that the devices are deemed suitable to run at all various hydropower facilities. Foote and Cooke dams are located on the Au Sable River in Iosco County, whereas Cronton Dam is located on the Muskegon River in Newaygo County.
The buoys will be located across the rivers, which face towards the dam, where the amount of water discharged can flow at a very dangerous rate, making it increasingly life threatening for passersby. The public has been informed to keep themselves limited to the downstream sector and not even tamper with the buoys; doing so will result in serious criminal charges and prosecution.
Meanwhile, Consumers Energy has handed out two checks worth $1000 each for two senior citizens, who had given their valuable time for the benefit of the neighbors, friends, and community. The first award went to Joe Evans, 76, resident of Jackson, who accepted the award under the category of Community Leadership at the Older Michiganians Day. The second award went to Julian Lauren, 67, resident from Detroit, who, unfortunately, passed away before the ceremony, was also selected in the Service to Others category.
Whitney Skeans, Consumers Energy's customer assistance manager, said that the awards reinforce the notion that a service is a very noble cause and one that is critical to the growth of the state and the well-being of the citizens. Consumers Energy is the proud award partner of Senior Citizen of the Year and has been holding the event annually where businesses, associations, and public and private entities can nominate elders, older than 60, who have performed uncompensated volunteering work, after which a vigorous selection process takes place from hundreds of nominated.
CMS Energy Corporation stock price ended the day at $31.78, a 0.08% gain from the previous day.
