GreenCurrents provides DTE Energy’s 2.2 million electric customers the option of choosing environmentally friendly renewable energy for their homes and businesses.

According to Trevor Lauer, vice president of retail marketing for DTE Energy, a key element of GreenCurrents is to encourage the development and operation of new renewable energy projects in Michigan.

Mr Lauer said: This request for proposal requires that providers be located in Michigan, and that their renewable energy facilities be newly constructed. We want the resources for the GreenCurrents program to be homegrown – and we expect to sign long-term agreements with developers who share that vision.
