DTE Launches 1-GW Clean Power RFP, Michigan Developers Face Tight Timeline
DTE Energy launched a solicitation for 1,000 MW of new wind and solar projects in Michigan, requiring the plants to deliver power by the end of 2029. The move comes as Michigan utilities face a 50% renewable energy mandate by 2030. Bids are due August 13, with contracts expected in early 2027. Local opposition remains a hurdle, as Ingersoll Township recently blocked a proposed DTE solar park.
