The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality renewed DTE Energy's Fermi 2 Power Plant's Clean Corporate Citizen status for an additional three years.

To become eligible for the rating, a power plant has to adopt specific environmental management systems, maintain active pollution prevention initiatives and have a consistent record of compliance with MDEQ.

DTE's Detroit Edison unit, which operates Fermi 2, has 2.2 million electric customers in Southeast Michigan.
