Detroit Edison seeks 245MW of renewable energy in Michigan

Power company Detroit Edison is in the market to buy 245 megawatts of renewable energy – as long as it comes from projects within the state of Michigan.
The firm has issued a Request for Proposals seeking energy from wind, solar, hydro, biomass or landfill gas facilities.

Successful projects will have to be up and running by 2014, although 120MW will come from projects operating by the end of 2012.

The company is aiming to expand its renewable energy portfolio to provide 10% of its power from renewable resources by 2015. This target will require addition of about 1,200MW of renewable power, Detroit Edison said, with half the capacity from in-house facilities and half from third-party contractors.
