The Daily Telegram
MACON TWP. A major step in the process of potentially bringing a solar energy facility to Macon Township was taken last week by a local utility company. Meanwhile, a public, outdoor meeting of the Macon Township Board to discuss the future of the facility is slated for 7 p.m. today.
Consumers Energy, headquartered in Jackson, announced Wednesday it has been OK’d to purchase the Mustang Mile Solar Energy Facility, a 150-megawatt solar energy project being proposed for construction in Macon Township.
The purchase agreement was approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission, which, at its April 8 meeting in Lansing, also approved a build-transfer agreement between Consumers and Mustang Mile Energy LLC for the Mustang Mile project. Build-transfer agreements involve one company developing and building a renewable energy project then transferring it to the utility.
