Michigan’s Energy Future
Consumers Energy and DTE Energy announced on Thursday, May 18, that Clean Energy Goal has been set to 50 percent by 2030. Consumers Energy CEO Patti Poppe and DTE Energy Chairman and CEO Gerry Anderson said in a joint statement that they appreciate that both local and national sponsors “understand our commitment to carbon reduction and how Michigan's energy plan puts the tools in place to achieve this goal in a thoughtful and affordable manner. Our two companies are overwhelmingly in favor of renewable energy and are focused on bringing additional energy efficiency opportunities to our customers." Both utilities will state how they plan on reaching these goals, in detail, over the next calendar year.
