The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has approved a permit-to-install for the 600-MW, coal-fired steam electric power plant proposed by Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative. This is the first coal-fired air permit in the nation to address greenhouse gas emissions. The power plant will be located at the Carmeuse Lime & Stone Inc. quarry property in Rogers Township, Presque Isle County. The approval follows a January court decision that the legal basis for previously denying the permit (alleged lack of need) was improper. The Wolverine Clean Energy Venture has two components: the base load power plant consisting of two 300 MW units and a wind farm. The Cooperative has contracted with DEWI North America to assess wind data for the proposed site near Rogers City.
