DTE Energy, Michigan’s largest producer of renewable energy, also plans to become a regional leader in battery storage as it converts a portion of its retired Trenton Channel coal power plant site to house a 220 MW/880 MWh battery energy storage facility, with completion expected in 2026.
The cost of the Trenton Channel site’s transformation is significantly offset by $140 million in tax incentives through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and its infrastructure investment provisions, DTE notes.
