The first wind farm in the state was the Harvest Wind Farm in the Thumb, opened in December 2007, with 32 turbines producing a rated 53 MW. [13] Huron County has the highest number of wind turbines in the state. In 2010, wind power produced 0.3% of Michigan's electrical power. [14]
Coal use has decreased by half over the last decade, replaced by natural gas and renewables. 60% of renewable generation is wind energy. [1] Michigan imports all coal and nuclear fuel (uranium), and 82% of natural gas. A goal to produce over 10% of electricity from in-state renewable sources was set in 2015.
Phase I spreads over 26,000 acres (110 km 2) a ten by six mile area since large wind turbines must be spaced at least 5 to 10 rotor diameters apart to avoid wind shadowing. Most of the land between turbines remains productive farmland; only about 250 acres (1.0 km 2 ) of farmland have been taken out of production by the 121 turbines.
