CMS Energy’s Consumers Energy said its upcoming Integrated Resource Plan will pursue an “all-of-the-above” electricity supply strategy over the next 20 years, combining more than 13 GW of expanded renewable and clean energy resources such as solar, wind and battery storage with two new natural gas plants totaling 1.5 GW. The plan includes repurposing existing industrial sites at the Karn Generating Facility in Bay County and in Thetford Township in Genesee County to host the gas units and leverage existing grid infrastructure. The company said it aims to maintain around-the-clock reliability and manage customer bills, and plans to file the IRP in June for Michigan Public Service Commission review.
