The two projects, totaling 385 megawatts and located in Michigan’s Isabella County, will be the largest clean energy projects in the state, as well as the largest renewable energy projects in DTE’s portfolio when they begin commercial operations in 2020.
DTE will use the Isabella Wind projects to meet the renewable energy needs of large commercial and industrial customers who have enrolled in MIGreenPower, the company’s voluntary renewable energy program.
Ford, General Motors and the University of Michigan were the first large customers to join the program after it was approved by the Mpsc in January 2019.
“Adding Isabella I and Isabella II to DTE’s generation portfolio will help us accelerate Michigan’s transition to cleaner energy and reduce carbon emissions at least 80% by 2040,” said Irene Dimitry, vice president of Business Planning and Development for Michigan-based DTE.
