Michigan Public Power Agency, a municipal power joint action agency, recently announced that the White Tail Solar project has entered commercial operation, fulfilling a long-term commitment to renewable power supply in Michigan. 

The project, located in Washtenaw County, began operating late in 2025 and contributes enough energy to power 6,050 homes for fourteen public power utilities sharing in the MPPA contract.

“White Tail Solar continues our commitment to helping our Members diversify & decarbonize their power supply portfolios,” said Patrick Bowland, CEO of MPPA. “Through joint action, our Members are able to benefit from economies of scale and portfolio diversification through MPPA’s participation in large-scale renewable power supply projects like White Tail Solar.”

White Tail Solar is a collaboration with Ranger Power, a national renewable energy developer, and DESRI, a national renewable energy company that owns and operates the project.
