Producing Power from Sunlight

We’re adding even more solar energy to the grid, the least expensive way to provide all Michiganders with access to solar power. Our new solar parks will include the latest panel technology so we can take full advantage of the sun’s rays, even on cloudy days.

In addition, as part of our environmental stewardship practices, many of our solar parks incorporate pollinator gardens. Land under and between solar arrays is providing new habitats for bees, bats, butterflies and other pollinators vital to protect biodiversity and our food supply.

Rapid growth in solar

DTE is currently in the midst of the most active period for renewable energy development in the company’s history. We are bringing three new solar parks online in 2025 and have three others under construction. When all six solar parks come online, we will be generating enough clean energy from wind and solar to power nearly 1 million homes.
