Michigan's Consumers Energy, an energy provider, has announced the start of operations for Muskegon Solar on January 5, 2026, its largest solar project in Michigan. The 250 MW facility sits on about 1,900 acres at the Muskegon Resource Recovery Center and generates enough electricity to supply roughly 40,000 homes and businesses. The construction of the project created more than 200 jobs and was carried out in partnership with Burns & McDonnell, with support from Moorland Township and Muskegon County. The solar array includes more than 550,000 panels installed across 5,200 rows that rotate to track the sun from sunrise to sunset. Muskegon Solar is the largest among Consumers Energy’s current solar projects, alongside installations at Western Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and in Cadillac, as the company continues developing solar, wind, natural gas and battery storage assets in Michigan.
