Additionally, long-term energy plans consider how utilities will operate their existing power generating facilities and what type of new facilities they might build and when. DTE currently has 3,000 MW of existing and approved solar and wind resources.) DTE also would install nearly 2,000 MW of battery resources by 2042.

The renewable energy transition involves harnessing epic forces of nature. Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. Once the battery looks up to code, it is off to the grid to power our renewable energy future!

Lithium-ion batteries are essential for decarbonizing transportation through electric vehicles and building a resilient, renewable energy grid through energy storage batteries. Nearly every part of a renewable energy grid can be circular, with all outputs circulating back as inputs in a regenerative cycle.
