On May 18, 2026, DTE Energy issued a request for proposals for 1 GW of new wind and solar capacity in Michigan, with projects required to be operational by December 31, 2029.
Projects must interconnect to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) or DTE’s distribution system; bids are due August 13, with contracts to be executed in early 2027. The procurement supports DTE Electric’s Clean Vision Integrated Resource Plan, which aims to power 6 million households with renewables by 2042.
Why it matters for Green Renewable Energy: Large investor-owned utility RFPs are a key demand signal for new renewable capacity as federal tax-credit timelines tighten and interconnection queue reform reshapes project economics.
