While large areas of the Midwest and East Coast are experiencing unprecedented levels of unhealthy air quality due to wildfires in Canada, Indiana Michigan Power has announced it will temporarily suspend disconnecting customers’ power.

“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do here at I&M. Our region is experiencing sustained levels of extremely poor air quality, and we do not want to deprive our customers of access to air conditioning and other means of generating air that is safe to breathe,” said Steve Baker, I&M’s president and COO.

I&M will suspend disconnects for non-payment through the Fourth of July holiday.

On July 5, the company will reevaluate air quality and determine next steps based on public health concerns.
