Consumers Energy has started commercial operations at the 150MW Gratiot Farms wind project in the US state of Michigan.
The 60-turbine wind farm was acquired by Consumers from Enel Green Power America, which started the development of the project.
Consumers Energy took ownership and responsibility for completing construction of the $260m project in September 2019.
Approximately 250 workers were employed during the construction of Gratiot Farms, while a 10-person team will operate the facility from a newly-established service centre in Middleton, scheduled to be completed by late February.
Consumers Energy vice president of enterprise project management, engineering and services Dennis Dobbs said: “We are excited to have completed construction and bring Gratiot Farms online to serve customers.
