General Motors said on Thursday, November 12, that it is developing its largest clean-energy project to date through two Michigan solar facilities. The company said the projects represent about USD 550 million in investment and are being developed by NorthStar Clean Energy under a virtual power purchase agreement. The details were published in a GM News release.

Solar capacity supports Michigan operations

The Branch Solar facility in Branch County and Lake Iris Solar in St. Clair County have a combined capacity of 300 megawatts. GM is the primary customer and has been allocated 92% of that capacity. The company expects the sites to generate about 539,000 megawatt-hours annually, equivalent to the electricity use of about 52,000 homes.

GM plans to apply the renewable energy credits to emissions associated with electricity purchased for Factory ZERO, Flint Assembly and Lansing Delta Township Assembly. The projects' expected output corresponds to the combined annual electricity use of those three Michigan plants, although the arrangement does not send the solar power directly to the factories.

Energy costs and emissions remain in focus

GM said the projects are intended to improve price predictability and reduce exposure to fuel-market volatility. The company also said it secured enough renewable energy in 2025 to match 100% of electricity use across its U.S. facilities and has reduced operational emissions by 52% since 2018.

Branch Solar represents approximately USD 380 million of the investment and Lake Iris approximately USD 170 million. GM said the two projects created more than 550 full-time local construction jobs during development. Branch Solar also helped Bethel Township receive a USD 1 million community infrastructure award.
