- In a settlement announced Wednesday, DTE Energy has agreed to stop using coal-fired power by 2032
- That’s three years earlier than previously planned
- It still doesn’t align with a state goal to ditch coal by 2030.

As of 2020, the Monroe plant is the 6th dirtiest power plant in the country. I’m glad that they’re planning to get off coal. I wish DTE would stop crippling residential solar with their rate structures though.
So we’re going to switch to buying coal power from out of state or are they building gas plants? Many of these plans haven’t really spelled out where all the power is actually coming from as plants close.
It’s going to be natural gas…. But I wish the answer was more solar. Natural gas is critical in the northern hemisphere for safety. Until there are significant investments for power storage from solar we are going to need gas.
