Michigan MapWolverine is purchasing energy from the Harvest Wind Farm, Michigan’s first commercial-scale wind project. Wolverine has a 20-year agreement with the principal owner and developer of the farm, John Deere Wind Energy. We are selling energy generated by the project to our members.

The Harvest Wind Farm spans 3,200 acres between Elkton and Pigeon, Michigan, in Huron County. Each of the wind farm’s 32 turbines is capable of producing 1.65 megawatts of electricity, for a total project capacity of 52.8 megawatts.

Construction of the wind farm began in June 2007, and the farm began generating electricity in December 2007. The project represents a $94 million investment.
