Under the contract, DTE Energy will buy all the output from the project, which will cover 2,800 acres in Rubicon Township in Huron County in Michigan’s Thumb area.
The project will feature ten 2MW turbines that are based on Ventower Industries towers.
The project, which is likely to be operational by late 2014, will generate enough electricity to power about 9,000 homes.
The contract is part of DTE Energy’s efforts to expand its renewable energy resources and meet the state’s renewable energy standard, which requires utilities to generate at least 10% of their electricity from renewable energy by 2015.
