"DTE is proud to be the state's largest investor in solar and wind," said Irene Dimitry, vice president of business and development for DTE Energy.  "The GM Transmission partnership is part of a broader, long-term plan to move us toward a cleaner, more diversified energy portfolio."

In addition to the solar array, Warren Transmission recently met the EPA ENERGY STAR® Challenge for Industry by reducing the energy intensity of the facility by 12.3 percent in just two years. The facility is also landfill-free, meaning it reuses, recycles or converts to energy all waste from daily operations.

GM currently houses 46 megawatts of solar power at 19 facilities globally. When the Warren Transmission array is complete, the global footprint of solar projects at GM sites will be equivalent to the size of nearly 125 American football fields.
