DTE Energy to Build Largest Battery Storage System in Great Lakes, Supporting Renewable Energy Goals by 2026.

Detroit-based energy company DTE Energy plans to install a 220-MW/880-MWh battery energy storage system at the site of a shuttered thermal power station in Michigan. The Trenton Channel Energy Centre, or BESS, will store excess electricity and discharge it when demand increases to reduce strain on the grid, address demand fluctuations, and support DTE’s renewable power plants. The battery is set to be the largest standalone energy storage facility in the Great Lakes region and is expected to be commissioned in 2026. The power stored by the BESS will be enough to supply nearly 40,000 homes. DTE aims to have 15 GW of renewables in Michigan by 2042 and 2.95 GW of energy storage assets.
