DTE Energy Announces New Agricultural Energy-efficiency Initiatives

(RTTNews) - DTE Energy Co. (DTE) today announced the addition of new agricultural energy-efficiency incentives under its Commercial Energy-Efficiency Incentive Program.

DTE Energy said that with the addition of 20 new measures, members of Michigan's agricultural community now can apply for cash incentives that will help pay for equipment upgrades and also lower their monthly operating expenses. These incentives are available to both commercial and residential rate-code agriculture customers.

DTE Energy said it created the incentives for those energy-efficiency measures that are among the most commonly found on Michigan crop and dairy farms, and in commercial greenhouses. The incentives are for equipment including irrigation systems, refrigeration, grain dryers and those for greenhouses and dairy operations.
