Lake Winds® Energy Park

As part of our commitment to renewable energy and a brighter future for our state, we are leading the way with the construction of safe, clean energy sources. So far, we have completed the Cross Winds Energy Park – a wind farm in Tuscola County – and shut down seven aging power plants.

The Lake Winds Energy Park in Mason County is our latest initiative to support Michigan’s green future. This 56-turbine project has brought employment, economic and tax benefits to the area. As Mason County is already home to our Ludington Pumped Storage Plant, the site was ideal for the buildout of our energy park.

Safety is always a top priority for us during planning and construction, and the Lake Winds Energy Park was no exception. Our team followed measures to ensure the health and welfare of both workers and nearby residents.

We are proud to support clean energy in Mason County and a healthier future for our state.
