CMS Generation provides project development, engineering, management, and operations for independent power plants in the U.S., Latin America, Africa, South Asia, and the Pacific Rim. As a key operating unit of CMS Energy, we offer unique expertise in all the skills required to build and manage complex power projects, particularly in developing countries, where energy demand is growing 5-10 percent annually.

CMS Generation has interests in 33 operating plants totalling 6,600 gross megawatts (MW). Our net generating capacity has more than doubled since 1991. Projects range in size from 3 megawatts to 2,000 megawatts. Fuel types include hydro, coal, natural gas, oil, wood, wind, and waste material.

In 1990, CMS Generation became the first organization in the world to successfully convert an abandoned nuclear facility to a natural gas-fueled, combined-cycle plant: the Midland Cogeneration Venture. This project, the largest cogeneration plant in the U.S., has attracted major comment and analysis in the international power-generation community.
