$570-Mil Energy Plant Investment Planned

NILES, MI-A new energy-producing facility in rural Michigan will include $1.3 million being spent by Indeck-Niles Energy Center L.L.C. to clean up the site. The project also benefits from $16.7 million in aid.

NILES, MI-Indeck-Niles Energy Center L.L.C. plans to invest more than $570 million to build a new 1,100-megawatt gas-fired electrical generation plant here. Upon completion, the state-of-the-art plant will supply 345 kilovolts of electricity to the American electrical power grid and create 209 jobs for Michigan workers.

The plant site chosen by the company has gone unused since the early 1950s due to heavy metals contamination from prior railroad use. As part of the project development, Indeck will spend more than $1.3 million to isolate and contain the contaminated soils.

“This project will help Indeck to meet its growth goals for the next several years, as well as provide for much needed asset diversification into a new electrical grid,” says Richard Robinson, Indeck’s manager of business development. “At the same time, the city of Niles will become the home of a highly efficient, clean, state-of-the-art electrical generating station that will provide tax revenue growth and high-paying jobs for the city.”
