JACKSON, Mich., June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy launched an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near a Jackson County electric substation Monday to help determine whether the emerging technology can improve how the company serves Michigan residents. "Twice a year, we use a helicopter to inspect high-voltage power lines," Palkovich said. "Using a UAV in place of a helicopter could tremendously reduce fuel use and emissions, and our neighbors would experience a noise reduction in their environment." Consumers Energy is committed to operating the UAV safely in full accordance with applicable regulations and the FAA approval, which establishes when, where and how it may be operated. Consumers Energy, Michigan's largest utility, is the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (CMS), providing natural gas and electricity to 6.6 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
