The Lansing Board of Water & Light is working to restore steam production at the REO Cogeneration Plant following an outage that began around 1am today. The outage caused approximately 200 downtown customers to lose steam heat. The cause of the outage is still under investigation, as the BWL continues to work on repairs as quickly as possible. Full steam restoration is expected by early afternoon today.

Separately, approximately 300 downtown customers were also without power from 4-7am. All BWL customers currently have power.

Further updates will be provided through additional press releases, as well as on the Lansing Board of Water & Light’s social media accounts.
