Notes

The proposal is expected to cost more than $2 billion. In March 2009 Consumer Energy submitted a draft air permit. In December 2009 their air permit was approved. Consumer Energy Co would use 500MW from the proposed unit, the remaining capacity would be used by municipal power groups. In 2010, proposed unit was defeated. Information on the cancellation is accessible in the "Consumers Energy suspends $2.3 billion coal-fired power plant near Bay City".
