The 50-turbine, 90MW wind project is the first commercial wind project developed by Exelon Wind.
Exelon Power Wind Energy vice president David Drescher said the clean generation from this project will help Michigan meet its renewable energy goals, it will provide clean energy for over 30,000 homes and brings significant economic benefits to the local community.
Over the first 20 years, Michigan Wind 2 will generate over $12m of revenue to the area through local tax payments.
Under a 20-year renewable energy purchase agreement, Consumers Energy will purchase the output from Michigan Wind 2.
Exelon Wind is a division of Exelon Power, which owns and operates Exelon’s renewable, hydroelectric and fossil power plants.
