DTE Energy Invests in 1.5 GW of Michigan-made Battery Energy Storage Systems for Eight Projects
LCG, May 28, 2026--DTE Energy yesterday announced a $1.6 billion investment to develop Michigan-made battery energy storage systems across Michigan through partnering with LG Energy Solution Vertech, the U.S. energy storage division of LG Energy Solution. The procurement agreement will support eight projects with battery systems delivered over a two-year period, generating an estimated $2.3 billion in total economic impact while improving grid reliability and supporting the Michigan’s clean energy goals.
The eight energy storage projects will deliver 1.5 GW and provide 6 GWh of storage capacity to store energy during times of surplus generation and deliver power to customers when needed to meet peak periods of customer demand. The storage capacity will reduce the need to start and stop generation as demand fluctuates and reduce strain on generators and the grid.
DTE states that this investment builds on DTE’s efforts to improve electric reliability, with DTE investing nearly $4 billion in 2025 to improve infrastructure and generate cleaner energy for its customers. This ongoing investment led DTE's customers to experience in 2025 the best reliability in nearly two decades.
DTE Energy's president and chief executive officer said, "DTE is committed to building a bright future for Michigan. By working with LG Energy Solution Vertech to bring more battery storage online through their Holland, Michigan manufacturing facility, we’re keeping Michigan at the forefront of technology and economic opportunity – creating good-paying jobs in communities while driving responsible growth, improving reliability for our customers and investing in clean energy solutions."
DTE’s announcement highlighted its commitment to responsible data center development that is providing a significant boost to battery energy storage in Michigan and making the electric grid cleaner, more reliable and more resilient. DTE stated it has identified the resources needed to reliably serve its new data center customers without compromising service for existing customers, while remaining in compliance with Michigan’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and Clean Energy Standard (CES). In the case of DTE’s approved contract for the Oracle data center in Saline Township, the battery energy storage systems (BESS) that Oracle is funding are, by themselves, sufficient to meet DTE’s portion of the state's 2030 clean energy standard for battery storage.
The chief executive officer and president of LG Energy Solution Vertech stated, "Michigan is a key U.S. manufacturing region for our company, where many of our colleagues live and work. We’re thrilled to work with DTE to bring Michigan-made energy storage to our communities. As more US-made energy storage projects are added to the energy grid, we’re building opportunities for advanced roles in the state that support our national energy needs."
The President and CEO of the Detroit Regional Chamber said, "In today's energy-dense, high-data-need AI environment – more efficient energy production and data centers are critical infrastructure. I applaud DTE Energy and their partners for leading the way and for partnering with organizations like the Chamber to ‘re-set’ the conversation about data centers and for our shared commitment to get this right. Michigan’s prosperity depends on it."
DTE believes that, together, the DTE and LG Energy Solution Vertech agreement represents a "significant step forward in building a more resilient, sustainable and economically vibrant Michigan."
