DTE launches 100-MW Cold Creek solar park to power Ford plants in Michigan

DTE Energy has completed the 100-megawatt Cold Creek Solar Park near Coldwater, Michigan. The $194 million project is funded by Ford through DTE's MIGreenPower program, under which Ford committed to buy up to 650 MW of renewable power so that all its Michigan-built vehicles use 100% carbon-free electricity by the end of 2027.

• Cold Creek's 100 MW can supply roughly 23,000–25,000 homes
• Ford invested $194 million and committed to buy up to 650 MW of clean power
• All Ford vehicles built in Michigan will use carbon-free electricity by 2027
• A 75-MW battery storage system is planned at the site
