University of Michigan
Summary
A new renewable energy agreement with DTE Energy marks a major milestone in the University of Michigan’s campus energy transition, putting the university on track to eliminate emissions tied to purchased electricity in 2027.
U-M’s participation in DTE’s MIGreenPower program is supporting the development of a new utility-scale solar facility in southeast Michigan dedicated to meeting the university’s electricity needs.
The project advances U-M’s broader efforts to reduce emissions across campus operations while expanding the use of renewable energy.
“This agreement reflects years of planning and collaboration to reduce emissions across campus operations at scale,” said Shana Weber, U-M associate vice president for campus sustainability and innovation. “By supporting the expansion of renewable energy generation in Michigan, the university is making progress toward its campus goals while also supporting the state’s MI Healthy Climate Plan.”
