01. DIVERSE SUPPLY MIX

Wolverine’s diverse supply mix allows us to keep power affordable for our members.

No one single fuel source is sufficient to generate the electricity needed to supply our members. And with frequent price fluctuations, varying fuel availability, and continual regulatory and legislative changes, it is essential to have a supply mix that is as diverse as it is economical.

Wolverine is committed to securing long-term power supply for our members through a diverse mix of energy resources. From base load coal to peaking natural gas to renewable wind energy power purchase agreements (PPA) to power purchased from the market, Wolverine’s energy portfolio is diverse and reliable for years to come.
