Brownfield Sites in the Upper Peninsula that could host the development of more than 750 MW of solar energy have been identified by Michigan Energy Options. The solar mapping tool specifically looks at the areas around Marquette and Houghton. It lists 79 sites with 752 MW of solar potential, as well as each site’s proximity to transmission lines, substations and roads. A 2010 study by the Land Policy Institute at MSU estimated 4,320 MW in wind and solar potential on brownfield sites across the state.
