“Delta Solar will be Michigan's second-largest solar power plant, representing our company's ability to help meet Michigan's need for new renewable energy sources as the state continues to grow.”

The PV installation, which is composed of two phases, is being constructed by by Vermont-based groSolar — a subsidiary of EDF Renewable Energy. The site is expected to be operational by the summer of 2018.

The power plant is being developed on 76 hectares of land in Delta Township in Eaton County — next to the General Motors Lansing Delta Assembly Plant. Work on the site is expected to create around 150 construction jobs.
