The Power Pool project consists of eight MPPA cities that combined their
loads and resources. These cities include:
Charlevoix
Grand Haven
Harbor Springs
Lansing
Lowell
Petoskey
Traverse City
Zeeland
Thru MPPA, the Power Pool buys and sells power, transmission capacity to meet
the needs of all the Power Pool participants, and performs power supply planning
for its members. Currently, Power Pool operations include 870 MW of generating
capacity supplies and 750 MW of load under economic dispatch. It participates
in active buying and selling of capacity and energy on the wholesale market to
enhance economics. Each member receives a montly billing based on hourly energy
cost calculations derived from a combination of internal and external Power Pool
transactions.

River projects
