 billions of dollars in cleaner sources of generation, a more resilient grid and improvements to our natural gas procurement and delivery systems. Our electric and gas utilities have ambitious aspirational targets to achieve net zero by 2050 and are working to improve the reliability of our energy delivery systems to meet the needs of a 21st century economy.

■ Broke ground on region’s largest battery energy storage facility: DTE was joined by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and other officials and community leaders to announce the Trenton Channel Energy Center, a facility that will store 880 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power nearly 40,000 homes. This project is designed to reduce strain on the grid, decrease the need to start and stop generation as demand fluctuates, and augment DTE’s growing wind and solar resources – all of which benefit customers.

■ Helped make NFL Draft a carbon-neutral success: DTE worked with the National Football League (NFL) and local tourism non-profit Visit Detroit to help the 2024 NFL Draft become carbon neutral. The NFL leveraged DTE’s popular voluntary renewable energy programs, MIGreenPower and Natural Gas Balance, to create a more sustainable environment for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who came to Detroit, with a positive impact for the local community.

■ Began construction of three new solar parks, all funded by the Company’s voluntary MIGreenPower program: As Michigan’s largest producer of and investor in renewable energy, DTE broke ground on three new solar parks in response to growing customer support for clean, renewable energy. The Fish Creek and Mission Road solar parks in mid-Michigan, and the Little Trout solar park in northern Michigan, are all funded by customers who voluntarily enrolled in DTE’s industry leading CleanVision MIGreenPower program. These solar developments are another step toward the company’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and bringing the State of Michigan closer to its clean energy goal of 60% by 2035.

■ Earned the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for sustained excellence in energy efficiency: DTE was the ENERGY STAR partner of the year again in 2024 for expanding energy efficiency programs to save customers more than 200,000 MWh of electricity and nearly 100,000 Mcf of natural gas in 2023, the equivalent of over 110,000 homes’ annual energy use.
