MISO Will Not Allow Shutdown of Presque Isle Power Plant

The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) says We Energies’ Presque Isle coal-fired power plant in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula needs to remain operational for reliability reasons, despite a bid by We Energies to suspend operations.  We Energies had discussed retiring the power plant several years ago but changed its mind after Wolverine Power Cooperative (Wolverine) agreed to install pollution controls and take an ownership stake in the plant.  For more information on compensation to We Energies and the possible effects on Wolverine, click here.
