Power plant

Wolverine Power Cooperative plans to build a base load power plant.  Base load power plants operate continuously and with great efficiency.

We have selected circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology for the power plant.  CFB technology is defined as a clean coal technology by the U.S. Department of Energy and meets federal and state environmental requirements.

The proposed plant will generate approximately 600 megawatts of electricity. Two units, at 300 megawatts each, will be constructed.

The proposed plant will be located near Rogers City, Michigan, on property that is mined for limestone.  Because modern power plants typically require limestone to operate more cleanly, building a plant within a limestone quarry is a definite benefit.  The ability to ship fuel to the site on the Great Lakes is yet another positive.
