Consumers Energy Outage Map ArcGIS REST API

Consumers Energy publishes its outage map data as an anonymous Esri ArcGIS Server 11.5 REST Services Directory on its own domain — no key, no account, no registration. CEOutageMap carries seven layers including the electric service territory polygon and live outage jobs (JOB_ID, CUSTOMER_COUNT, CAUSE_CD, CAUSE_DESC, OUTAGE_TIME, EST_TIME_RESTORATION, CREW_ASSIGNED); ServiceDashboard carries five county- and city-level rollups (CE_County_Outages, CE_City_Outages, CustomersInterruptedPercent, NumberOfInterruptions, NumberOfWireDowns) over both a MapServer and a FeatureServer. Every map service also publishes a WSDL 1.1 SOAP contract with 55 operations. This is the only first-party, CMS-Energy-operated machine-readable API surface in the profile.

  title: Consumers Energy Outage Map ArcGIS REST API
  version: '11.5'
  summary: Anonymous, first-party ArcGIS REST services publishing Consumers Energy outage and service-territory geodata.
  description: |
    Consumers Energy (the regulated Michigan electric and natural-gas utility of CMS Energy)
    operates a public, unauthenticated ArcGIS Server REST Services Directory at
    `https://www.consumersenergy.com/arcgispublic/rest`. It is the machine-readable surface behind
    the public Consumers Energy Outage Map, and it answers anonymously — no API key, no token, no
    registration.

    This description was GENERATED by API Evangelist from the service's own live self-describing
    metadata: every path, layer id, field name and capability below was read from a probed
    `?f=json` response on 2026-09-06. It is not a specification Consumers Energy publishes; ArcGIS
    Server does not emit OpenAPI. The authoritative contract remains the ArcGIS REST Services
    Directory itself (and the SOAP WSDL under `wsdl/`).

    OWNERSHIP: this API is served from `www.consumersenergy.com`, a host CMS Energy controls,
    and its content (`Consumers Energy Outage Map`, `CE_County_Outages`, `CE_City_Outages`)
    is Consumers Energy operational data. The software is Esri ArcGIS Server 11.5 running under
    the utility's own domain.

    NOT INCLUDED: `Utilities/RasterUtilities` (GPServer) and `Utilities/Symbols` (SymbolServer) are
    stock Esri utility services carrying no Consumers Energy content, and the `PreProd` folder was
    empty when probed.
