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.
