The energy landscape in the United States has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. The need for sustainable and renewable energy sources has become increasingly important, and companies are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. Ford Motor Company, one of the world’s leading automakers, has made a significant move towards a cleaner tomorrow by purchasing 650 megawatts of renewable energy from DTE Energy’s CleanVision MIGreenPower program. This purchase is a major milestone for DTE Energy, which has been working tirelessly to develop and invest in renewable energy infrastructure. The company’s renewable energy portfolio currently consists of 20 wind parks and 34 solar parks, all located in Michigan. DTE has invested a significant amount of money in its renewable energy infrastructure since 2009, with a goal of investing an additional $4 billion in the next several years. The partnership between Ford and DTE Energy is a testament to the growing demand for renewable energy in the United States. MIGreenPower, DTE’s voluntary renewable energy program, enables business and residential customers to attribute their electricity use to Michigan-made renewable energy while funding the development of new solar and wind parks. This program has been instrumental in helping DTE achieve its goal of reducing carbon emissions and meeting the State of Michigan’s clean energy goals. The purchase of 650 megawatts of renewable energy will help Ford avoid as much as 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This is a significant step towards Ford’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across its vehicles, manufacturing, and supply chain by 2050. The company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is a major highlight of its environmental efforts. “Thanks to this strategic investment with DTE, Ford will soon be able to attribute all of our electricity supply in Michigan to clean energy,” said Amir Mirshahi, director of Utilities and Energy Infrastructure at Ford. “This partnership is proof of Ford’s unwavering commitment to transitioning to clean energy and aligns us with our sustainability objectives. It represents a significant step toward our goal of achieving carbon neutrality and will also help make our local Michigan communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change.”
 
This partnership is not just a significant move for Ford, but also for DTE Energy. The company’s renewable energy portfolio is expected to continue growing, with three new solar parks coming online in the first half of 2025. These developments will help DTE make significant progress toward its goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions as well as meeting the State of Michigan’s clean energy goals. DTE Energy has been working towards reducing its carbon footprint for several years, and this partnership with Ford is a significant step towards that goal. The company’s commitment to serving its customers with clean energy is reflected in its volunteerism, education, and employment initiatives, philanthropy, emission reductions, and economic progress. Ford’s purchase of 650 megawatts of renewable energy from DTE Energy’s CleanVision MIGreenPower program is the largest renewable energy purchase from a utility in U.S. history.
