In preparation for Hurricane Michael, Flint Energies will close its offices at 4 p.m. today. Flint plans to reopen all offices at 1 p.m. on Thursday, October 11. Consumer-members can report outages through the Flint Energies app, online at flintenergies.com or at 888.354.6836.

Heavy winds from Hurricane Michael, combined with rain, could lead to power outages. Flint Energies urges all members to prepare for widespread, extended outages. Flint is expecting thousands of members to be without power for several days, not hours. Flint has several crews coming from Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas to assist with power restoration efforts.
