According to a press released published on PRNewsWire, DTE Energy broke the ground on a state-of-the-art, $1 billion natural gas-fueled plant. The Blue Water Energy Center will be the most efficient power plant in the state when it begins producing affordable and reliable low-emission electricity for 850,000 homes starting in 2022.
The plant will be built by Kiewit Engineering, and has begun the pre-qualification process for local sub-contractors. Additionally, GE Power has been chosen to provide the major generation equipment. More than 500 labor jobs will be created during construction beginning in spring 2019 and an additional 35 full-time positions will be filled when the plant becomes operational in 2022.
