People gathered at the new Cadillac Solar Gardens Monday for an official ribbon cutting.
Leaders from Consumers Energy, the City of Cadillac and the state dedicated the project at the brownfield area that was once an industrial site.
Cadillac Solar Gardens will generate nearly half a megawatt of electricity, which is enough to power as many as 100 homes at a time.
The site has more than 1,700 panels and includes a battery storage system.
It’s all part of the company’s plan to achieve net zero emissions.
The Cadillac Solar Garden will also be planted with vegetation, providing habitat for bees, butterflies and humming birds.
