The Peoples Generating Station is located in Saginaw County, North and West of Birch Run, on Waste
Management of Michigan’s Peoples Landfill.
Constructed in 1995, the Peoples Generating Facility has an installed capacity of 3.2 MW, consisting of
four Caterpillar 3516 generating units, each producing 800 kW of electric capacity. The Facility
generates at 4,160 volts and is interconnected to Consumers Energy Company’s 24,900 volt
distribution system by a North American owned pad-mounted substation.
Peoples receives landfill gas from both Waste Management’s Peoples Landfill and Republic’s Tayban
Landfill, which is located immediately to the East of Peoples. The two landfill gas streams are handled
through separate systems for each, including separate knock-out tanks, compression, metering, and
gas drying equipment. The two landfill gas steams are mixed just before entering the
engines/generator sets.
North American currently has a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with Consumers Energy
Company for units 1-3. North American has a separate Power Purchase Agreement for unit number 4,
under which Consumers Energy Company purchases the electric energy and capacity as well as the
green tags.
