Construction of wind turbines and other renewable energy facilities takes time. In order to reach the aggressive goals set by the Clean, Renewable and Efficient Energy Act (PA 295 of 2008), DTE Energy is purchasing substantial amounts of renewable energy from third party developers in Michigan who can provide this energy reliably, at reasonable costs, and within the required time frame. These projects could include landfill gas, biomass energy, solar energy, hydropower, wind energy, and other sources approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission.
