The GreenCurrents program provides DTE Energy’s 2.2 million electric customers the option of choosing environmentally-friendly renewable energy for their homes and businesses.
Under a one-year agreement, with option for two additional years, Wolverine will provide DTE Energy with renewable energy credits from the Harvest wind farm located in Michigan’s Thumb area.
DTE Energy stated that the Harvest wind farm, developed by John Deere Wind Energy, is Michigan’s first multi-megawatt wind farm. The project consists of 32 wind turbines capable of producing enough electricity to power more than 15,000 homes. Wolverine has a long-term agreement with John Deere to purchase renewable energy from the wind farm.
Under the GreenCurrents program, DTE Energy’s Detroit Edison electric customers can select a renewable energy option that best fits their budget. For as little as $2.50 a month, residential customers can purchase a 100kWh block of renewable energy that’s equal to 15-20% of a typical home’s monthly electric usage.
Customers can also choose to match 100% of their home’s electricity consumption with renewable resources for an additional cost of $10-15 per month for a typical household.
