Calhoun County Solar Site Will Tie In To Consumers Energy Grid
Consumers Energy is again expanding its renewable energy program. This time it’s turning to Calhoun County. The new Invenergy Calhoun Solar Center in Convis Township is preparing to supply the utility with up to 140 megawatts of solar panel-generated power. Consumers figures that’s enough to adequately supply up to 70,000 residential customers. Convis Township is bordered on the east and west by Lee and Pennfield Townships, on the north side of the county.
Consumers Vice President Tim Sparks says the utility will be purchasing the power from the solar site, owned and operated by Invenergy. The Chicago-based Invenergy has renewable energy projects going around the globe. It has developed five additional renewable energy sites in Michigan including the Crescent Wind site in Hillsdale County which Consumers recently purchased from Invenergy.
