Shiloh Industries to power three Michigan facilities through DTE renewable energy program
DTE Energy gained a new member for its MIGreenPower program last week, gaining a commitment from Shiloh Industries to source three of its facilities with clean energy.
That energy will, naturally, be provided by DTE, and benefit a technical center in Plymouth, Michigan, along with stamping plants in Roseville and Warren, Michigan, respectively. In all, the companies calculate this will remove nearly 4,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Shiloh — a lightweighting supplier of noise and vibration solutions — will not need to own or maintain any exterior equipment as a result of its voluntary engagement in the program.
“Shiloh is proud to embrace DTE’s MIGreenPower program, taking an important step toward achieving our goal of carbon neutrality,” Ramzi Hermiz, president and CEO of Shiloh, said. “The program complements our sustainability initiatives, including our global network of landfill-free facilities and our portfolio of 100 percent recyclable products.”
Since its inception, the MIGreenPower program has grown to be one of the largest voluntary renewable energy programs in the country. In addition to Shiloh, it also includes members such as the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and the University of Michigan who look at it as a way to meet sustainability goals.
“We’re excited to welcome Shiloh into our community of partners who are accelerating the development of locally-sourced renewable energy – which is great for Michigan’s environment and economy,” Irene Dimitry, vice president of Renewable Energy at DTE Energy, said. “DTE’s MIGreenPower provides an easy and affordable option for customers interested in reducing their electricity-based carbon footprint.”
