Consumers Energy & Detroit Edison Pump Storage Plant
Consumers Energy and Detroit Edison share a commitment to green energy in Mason County. In addition to helping meet the energy demands of the entire Lower Peninsula of Michigan, their jointly owned Pumped Storage Plant provides jobs for local workers, and facility maintenance spending provides money back to the local economy. They are currently investing $800 million to enlarge and improve the Ludington facility, from which tax dollars support education and other services for the community.
Consumers Energy Windfarm
Consumers Energy and White Construction completed assembly of a 56-turbine, 100.8-megawatt wind farm in southern Mason County in 2012. The $235 million Lake Wind Energy Park was the public utility’s first alternative energy wind farm and accounts for nearly $4 million per year of direct and indirect economic impact to Mason County.
