Mark Clevey, Consumer Education and Renewable Energy Program Manager for the State of Michigan recently told the Battle Creek Enquirer that if a number of elements come together a wind farm could go up anyplace, including Calhoun County. In March 2011, power company Detroit Edison Co. accepted bids for a solar and wind farm, including one from Starr Commonwealth in Sheridan Township and Patriot Solar Group in Albion, as well as others in a bidding group.
Excerpt: "Is there a customer who is willing to buy the results that are going to come out of this wind farm, and are they going to pay enough so it’s worthwhile for everybody?" he said. "The question is, can you put the pieces together in Calhoun County and make it work?"
