Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1968, ka tīmata te Consumers Power ki te hanga i tētahi wheketere hiko karihi i Midland, Michigan, ko te nuinga o te Dow Chemical Company. Heoi anō, nā ngā take hanga i whakaroa, i nui ake hoki ngā utu.
Ko te aitua o Three Mile Island i te tau 1979 i puta ai he huringa nui i roto i nga whakaritenga whakahaere karihi me te hoahoa hou o te punaha. I te wa i whakaatuhia ai ko nga whare pupuri kei te noho me nga pakaru o te turanga i kitea, ka whakakorehia e Dow tana kirimana me te Consumers Power, a ka whakarerea te kaupapa i te 1984. Ko te haumi $4.1 piriona tata ki te whakangao i te Mana Kai. Heoi, i te tau 1985, i honoa e te Consumers Power me etahi atu kamupene e waru ki te huri i te tipu karihi kua whakarerea o Midland hei tipu hiko hau maori. I tīmata te hurihanga o te tipu i te tau 1986 a ka oti i te utu o te $ 500 miriona. I tīmata te Midland Cogeneration Venture ki te whakaputa pūngao i te tau 1991 ā, ko taua angitu i whakahoki mai i te whakapono ki te Mana Kaiwhakamahi.
