Consumers Energy Celebrates New Solar Power Plant in Cadillac
Following the release of the company’s updated Clean Energy Plan, leaders from Consumers Energy, the state of Michigan and the city of Cadillac Monday dedicated the company’s third solar power plant, Cadillac Solar Gardens. The Clean Energy Plan proposes using nearly 8,000 megawatts of solar energy by 2040, ending the use of coal by 2025, achieving net zero carbon emissions and saving customers $650 million through 2040.

Cadillac Solar Gardens will generate nearly half a megawatt of electricity, enough to power as many as 100 homes at a time. The site has 1,752 panels and includes a battery storage system. The solar panels are located on repurposed brownfield land with a manufacturing history that dates to the late 1800s. Before the solar power plant, the site had been vacant for more than 30 years after the closure of an auto manufacturer.

Consumers Energy also operates solar power plants at Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University.

Pet of the Week - Rosa Lu
Rosa Lu was surrendered to us due to her size, energy and wagging tail. There were several small children in her home and the tail was wapping them. Rosa is ultra-sweet and a touch stubborn, she is smart and doesn't want to go into her kennel. She gets along very well with other dogs and we think would do alright with cats. Rosa is also very pretty. Because of her size and exuberance we recommend a home without small children. Click HERE for more pictures!
