DTE Energy has announced the commissioning of Meridian Wind, a 225 MW wind farm now the largest operating in Michigan.
Meridian Wind spans three townships across Midland and Saginaw counties and features 77 wind turbines. The wind farm is capable of generating enough clean energy to power more than 78,000 homes.
DTE managed all aspects of the Meridian Wind’s development, from land acquisition and permitting through construction, and will assume responsibility for the project’s ongoing operations and maintenance. Meridian Wind Park is DTE’s first self-developed renewable energy project since the development of Pinnebog Wind in 2016.
With the commissioning of Meridian Wind Park, DTE now has 20 wind farms in its renewable energy portfolio. These projects, along with the company’s 33 solar farms, generate enough clean energy to power more than 750,000 homes and represent an investment of more than $3 billion.
DTE plans to add approximately 1,000 MW of new renewable energy each year starting in 2025. As part of its CleanVision Integrated Resource Plan filed last fall, the company proposed adding an additional 15,000 MW of clean energy by 2042, giving DTE enough clean energy to power more than 4 million homes.
