A We Energies spokeswoman said several trees have fallen on power lines, and there have also been cable failures and some equipment replacement issues leading to the outages.

The Caledonia outage was caused by a vehicle that hit a utility pole.

The We Energies spokeswoman says some of these outages could be heat related.
