DTE Energy Efficiency Programs drive energy savings via RFPs, rebates, appliance recycling, HVAC upgrades, insulation and windows, lighting, and the DTE Insight app, with outreach and trade ally networks across Detroit.

 

Main Details

DTE Energy's RFP-backed initiatives delivering rebates, recycling, and tools to help customers cut usage and costs.

  • Two-year contracts for HVAC, insulation, windows, lighting
  • Appliance recycling with verified environmental compliance
  • Rebates and retail program management for efficient products
  • DTE Insight app enables real-time energy tracking

 

DTE Energy will issue a Request for Proposal for a package of energy-efficiency programs whose vendor contracts expire.

 

DTE's RFP indicates the success and continuation of its current programs, including a proposed green power option for customers. The company will seek two-year contracts for programs that include appliance recycling heating, ventilation and air conditioning, home performance with insulation and windows and lighting and appliances.

The scope of work includes achieving energy savings within the prescribed program budget, marketing, retail program management, rebate processing, recycling of appliances and management of trade ally networks. The work also will include conducting outreach events to educate customers about the impact of their energy usage, including managing heating costs during colder months, and further their energy-efficiency journey.

Customers who participated in DTE's energy efficiency programs in 2014 – the most recent year for which statistics are available -- will save $585 million over the lifetime of their energy-saving upgrades.

DTE Energy's energy-efficiency programs also will result in $4.5 billion in customer savings and, as DTE considers a new nuclear reactor in Michigan as part of its long-term strategy, other economic benefits through 2029.

The residential programs also include the DTE Insight app to help customers track and manage real-time energy use, while similar Toronto Hydro CDM programs highlight broader industry momentum.

DTE Energy is a Detroit-based diversified energy company whose Fermi 2 plant retains Clean Corporate Citizen status and is involved in the development and management of energy-related businesses and services nationwide.
