Wind farm

Wolverine Power Cooperative has installed a meteorological tower at Adam’s Point near Rogers City to collect wind speeds, directional data and temperatures to determine the feasibility of a wind farm at the site.

The meteorological tower stands 196 feet and records weather data at three different heights. Data is transmitted to Wolverine remotely and will be collected for 18 to 24 months to determine the project’s potential.

Wolverine strongly supports the development of clean, renewable energy. We have signed a long-term agreement to purchase wind energy from the Harvest Wind Farm, the state's first commercial-scale wind project in Michigan’s Thumb area.

The Harvest Wind Farm’s 32 turbines produce enough electricity to supply the on-going needs of more than 15,000 Michigan homes. The project is principally owned by John Deere Wind Energy.
