Dependable Michigan Peaking Plants

Safeguarding grid reliability and supporting renewable energy

Wolverine owns and operates seven natural gas power plants across Michigan. These peaking plants play a vital role in keeping the lights on by providing power during periods of high energy demand or when renewable sources like solar and wind are not available, and during electric grid maintenance. Our fleet is the most reliable in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region, actively contributing benefits to the regional electric market.
