Michigan Wind EnergyThis diagram indicates that Michigan has wind resources suitable with utility-scale wind power generation. The diagram shows that the onshore utility-scale wind supply in Michigan are concentrated along the immediate shores of the Great Lakes (especially Lakes Michigan and Superior) and on offshore islands. The Great Lakes themselves have good-to-outstanding wind windpower. A large area of Class 3 windpower is positioned northeast of Saginaw on the "thumb" of the map. |
