DTE Energy Company - DTE STOCK NEWS

DENSO has enrolled in DTE Energy's CleanVision MIGreenPower program, a major voluntary renewable energy initiative in the U.S. Starting in 2028, DENSO's Belleville Logistics Center and a facility at its North American headquarters in Southfield will attribute 100% of their electricity use to DTE's Michigan-based wind and solar parks for 10 years. This commitment involves 5,840 megawatt-hours per year, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 4,763 acres of forest annually.

This move aligns with DENSO's goal to become carbon neutral by 2035. The MIGreenPower program, which has over 1,200 business and 100,000 residential customers, is helping DTE add more than 2,400 megawatts of new wind and solar energy in the coming years. This initiative not only supports sustainability efforts but also boosts Michigan's economy through tax revenue and clean energy job creation.

DTE Energy has installed nearly 1,000 free air conditioning units for income-qualified customers in metro Detroit through its Energy Efficiency Assistance (EEA) program.

Customers may also receive additional assistance such as weatherization, appliances, and insulation.

The EEA program has served over 50,000 customers since its inception, partnering with 32 community action agencies and non-profit organizations. DTE is ranked a Top 5 Utility by ACEEE for its leadership in energy equity. While this specific initiative has reached capacity for the season, other assistance opportunities remain available for eligible customers.

The DTE Energy Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share on its common stock. This dividend will be payable on October 15, 2024, to shareholders who are recorded by the close of business on September 16, 2024.

DTE Energy will build a 220-megawatt battery energy storage center at the retired Trenton Channel coal plant site, making it the largest in the Great Lakes region when completed in 2026. The project supports Michigan's MI Healthy Climate Plan and DTE's CleanVision Integrated Resource Plan. The center will store electricity during excess generation and distribute it as needed, reducing grid strain and supporting DTE's renewable energy initiatives.

The transformation is helped by $140 million in tax incentives from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The center can power nearly 40,000 homes and aligns with DTE's net zero carbon goals. It will also bring additional tax revenue to the Trenton community for local projects.

DTE Energy has announced the expansion of its Energy Efficiency Academy to Grand Rapids, following a successful first year in Detroit.

In its inaugural year, the Academy had a 94% certification pass rate and saw 75% of its graduates secure full-time employment with wages up to $30 per hour. The expansion aims to address the increasing demand for energy-efficient home repairs and build a sustainable local workforce. DTE’s initiative is in partnership with Walker-Miller Energy Services and reflects its commitment to energy equity and supporting underserved communities.
