Consumers Energy starts operation of Crescent Wind Project in Southern Michigan

Consumers Energy has begun the ownership of the 166 MW Crescent Wind which began producing clean, renewable energy today for residents and businesses in Michigan.

Crescent Wind in Hillsdale County features 60 turbines with a capacity to power about 64,000 residents. Invenergy developed and built the wind farm. Consumers Energy took ownership and operations of the facility upon its completion today.

Consumers Energy’s newest wind project represents a US$246 million investment in Michigan’s clean energy infrastructure. It joins Lake Winds Energy Park, Cross Winds Energy Park, and Gratiot Farms Wind Project, which went online in late 2020, as wind energy projects Consumers Energy owns and operates.

Combined, the four Consumers Energy wind energy farms can produce enough clean, renewable energy to power about 249,600 residents.
