ITHACA, MI — DTE Energy has completed another new solar park in mid-Michigan.

The new 100-megawatt Polaris Solar Park in Gratiot County is expected to generate enough clean energy to power approximately 24,000 Michigan homes, according to a DTE news release.

Company officials said a ribbon-cutting ceremony, to take place from 10:15 a.m. to noon Wednesday, June 11, at the site will highlight DTE’s continued investment in Michigan’s renewable energy future.

“Polaris Solar Park represents another step forward in DTE’s long-term commitment to building a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for our customers and our state,” Renee Tomina, senior vice president of DTE Energy’s Project Management Office, said in a statement.

Since 2009, the company has invested $4.6 billion in renewable energy infrastructure and plans to invest an additional $4 billion in the coming years, according to company officials.

By the end of 2025, DTE expects to generate enough clean energy from its wind and solar projects to power more than 830,000 Michigan homes.
