Local leaders respond after state approves Huron County battery project. A state-approved, 450-megawatt battery storage project planned for Huron County has taken some local officials by surprise, with at least one commissioner saying he only learned of the development after regulators signed off. Keep Watching Watch More On March 27, the Michigan Public Service Commission approved six new battery energy storage sites across the state, including the 450-megawatt Big Mitten Energy Center in Huron County. However, the state's announcement did not include details on the project's exact location within the county, construction timeline, cost and potential local economic impact. Article continues below this ad Get Digital Access and Stay Informed With Trusted Local News. The Big Mitten Energy Center is an Aypa Power project expected to be built in Colfax Township. According to the company's website, the project would be located in Section 1 of the township, just west of North Van Dyke Road and north of West Richardson Road. Huron County Commissioner Scott Maust, who represents District 3, said as of Tuesday morning he does not have any additional information about the project. "I just read about it this morning," Maust said. "I need to look into it more." He said he is unsure whether his fellow commissioners have more information, as the commission has not yet discussed the issue. Article continues below this ad Commissioner Steve Vaughan, who represents District 4, which includes Colfax Township, said he has been aware of the project because of his ties to Colfax Township. "I've been aware of it since they started coming up here two years ago with the idea," Vaughan said. "It's not something new." He said Aypa originally tried to acquire property in Windsor Township but changed plans when that effort fell through. "They had an application ready to go, so they moved over to Colfax Township, and they were able to garner approval to go ahead and construct," Vaughan said. Article continues below this ad However, he clarified that the Big Mitten Energy Center is a Colfax Township project - not a county project - and therefore was not approved by Huron County officials. This likely explains why other commissioners were not aware of the project. While an exact timeline is not yet known, Vaughan said he expects the project won't be built until 2028 and will be online by 2030. The Tribune attempted to reach the other commissioners and did not receive an immediate response.
