DTE Energy has launched an RFP for 1 GW of renewable energy capacity, including wind and solar projects
Eligible projects must be located in Michigan and connected to MISO or DTE’s distribution system
The utility aims to expand its renewable energy and storage portfolio as part of its long-term clean energy targets
US utility DTE Energy has launched a request for proposal (RFP) to selected bidders for 1 GW of new renewable energy capacity it plans to add to its portfolio.
All eligible projects under the call must be located within Michigan and interconnected to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) or to the DTE distribution system. DTE requires all wind and solar energy projects under the call to start commercial operations by December 31, 2029.
Under its CleanVision Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), DTE targets 15 GW of renewable energy capacity between 2023 and 2042, including 4.4 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind between 2023 and 2032. The remaining 2.1 GW of solar and 7.9 GW of wind energy capacity are to be added between 2033 and 2042. It will expand the company’s total renewable energy capacity to 18.4 GW.
Additionally, it plans to add 1.83 GW of storage, expanding this fleet to 2.9 GW by 2042. In April 2026, DTE launched an RFP for up to 480 MW of new standalone energy storage projects that can come online by Q1 2029.
At present, however, the utility counts its renewable energy portfolio as comprising 20 wind and 34 solar parks. These generate enough clean energy to power more than 850,000 homes.
DTE plans to add 1 GW of new wind and solar capacity annually to be able to generate enough power for approximately 5.9 million homes by 2042.
For the 1 GW renewable energy tender launched on May 15, 2026, DTE will accept bids till August 13, 2026, and aim to execute contracts in Q1 2027. Tender details will be available to companies that register on the PowerAdvocate website.
In March 2026, Google partnered with DTE Energy to add 2.7 GW of new clean energy sources to power its new data center in Michigan (see Google Plans Michigan Data Center With 2.7 GW Clean Power).
