This is the area where I grew up, which is mostly why I am posting it.

Maybe its common but it's the first time I've heard of a coal to solar conversion.

Of course, all the high voltage lines are routed there already.

ESSEXVILLE, MI – Consumers Energy will replace its old coal-burning power plant with a large-scale renewable solar array.

Consumers officials said on Wednesday, Oct. 4, that the utility intends to build an 85-megawatt solar array at the former Karn 1 and 2 coal facilities, which closed down in June this year. The project will be part of the company’s clean energy transition.

After years of scoffing, it’s nice to see Big Energy/Big Oil hop on board renewable energy now that they’ve taken control of so much of it. Rolling Eyes
