Background
The Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) plans to build a new gas-fired power at the premises of the Delta Energy Center. In July 2024, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) approved a permit to build and operate the new power plant. BWL expects the plant to be operational by the end of 2026. The new construction will include six gas-fired RICE (reciprocating internal combustion engines) and two diesel-fired emergency engines. In a statement, the utility said the new power station will address increasing electricity needs in the area. The plant is designed to complement renewable energy sources like wind and solar by operating intermittently, not continuously.[5]
