This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Michigan, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Michigan had a total summer capacity of 30,538 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 117,497 GWh. [ 2 ]
Big Rock was Michigan's first nuclear power plant and the nation's fifth. It also produced cobalt-60 for the medical industry from 1971 to 1982. Ground was broken on July 20, 1960. Construction was completed in 29 months at a cost of $27.7 million. Its license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was issued on August 29, 1962. The reactor ...
We Energies and American Transmission Company are looking at building two new 345,000-volt transmission lines from Wisconsin to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If the new lines are built, one would go from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Ishpeming, Michigan and the second 345kv line would go from the Weston Power Plant near Wausau, Wisconsin north to ...
The Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan has closed a $1.5 billion loan to support the first reactor restart in U.S. history, the Department of Energy announced Monday.
The Monroe Power Plant is a coal-fired power plant located in Monroe, Michigan, on the western shore of Lake Erie. It is owned by the DTE Energy Electric Company, a subsidiary of DTE Energy. The plant was constructed in the early 1970s and began operating in 1971. [1] The plant has 4 generating units, each with an output of 850 megawatts.
Consumers Energy also planned to tap the wind power resources along the eastern Lake Michigan shore with wind farms. [9] Because wind is an intermittent power source and may inconveniently deliver large amounts of power during periods of low electric demand, pumped storage facilities are desirable to have on the same grid with large-scale wind ...
It was located in St. Clair County, Michigan, on the west bank of St. Clair River. The plant was across M-29 from the newer Belle River Power Plant in East China, Michigan. The first four units of St. Clair were built in 1953–1954. [2] Since then, three more generating units were added to the plant.
In 2018, the plant released 7,917,510 tons of CO 2, 4,547 tons of SO 2, and 2,572 tons of NO x. [10]There are three ponds at the plant which are used to store coal ash. Environmental groups like the Michigan Environmental Council claim that heavy metals and other residuals from these ponds have been leaking into groun
