About

The project builds on the relationship with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the successful development of Groveland Mine Solar, another project partially located on Department of Natural Resource lands.

Circle Power Renewables is led by an experienced management team with deep renewable energy development expertise and a proven track record working in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Circle Power Renewables has expertise in repurposing former industrial sites, such as Conservation Airport Solar. The successful development would support local jobs, tax income and wouldn’t utilise any existing farmland.
