Michigan ranks 15th for total wind generation nationwide, according to a 2021 study released by Commodity.com, which was updated last May. The study reports wind provides 8 percent of the total electricity consumed by the nation’s homes, government entities and businesses, while contributing 7 percent to Michigan’s electricity grid.
