2008: Building On Our Commitment
2008 was a year of building on our commitment to our customers, shareowners, employees and communities. We finished construction and placed into service the company’s first owned wind project, started construction on a major project to reduce emissions at our Lansing Generating Station, and began installing advanced metering infrastructure. We also successfully dealt with two major events that none of us saw coming at the beginning of the year – historic flooding throughout our service territory in the summer and the financial crisis in the fall.
