DTE breaks ground on St. Clair Co. power plant
Replacing 3 old coal-fired plants with a more efficient power plant is the option DTE has pushed for. They believe Blue Water Energy Center will be 70% cleaner and 40% more efficient than the combined 3 plants they are retiring. DTE plans to reduce their carbon emissions 80% by 2050 and will continue to invest in their renewable energy efforts including 2 new wind farms. Despite the criticism from environmental groups, DTE believes reliability is of the utmost importance for their customers. The plant will provide that to the state along with continuing employment and stability for families statewide.

DOE EIA Weekly Gas Storage Report
Working gas in storage was 2,956 Bcf as of Friday, October 5, 2018, according to EIA estimates.
This represents a net increase of 90 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 627 Bcf less than last year at this time and 607 Bcf below the five-year average of 3,563 Bcf. At 2,956 Bcf, total working gas is below the five-year historical range.
US Solar Tariff Impact
It’s been about a year since Trump enacted a 30% tariff on solar imports to the US. Although it is set to last 4 years, each year is planned to decrease by 5%; in 2021 the tariff will be 15%. Hopes to benefit domestic manufacturers and residential solar projects are among the expected advantages. However, the high rate caused large scale developers to pause or cancel planned projects of $2.5 billion. This hold on utility scale arrays could dent advances the US made using these renewable sources. Research also shows the average consumer had a price increase for a standard system. Preceding the tariff’s implementation, costs had been falling. They are again decreasing but, at a lower rate. Ideally, the hope is to get back on track to at least the rate of decline prior to the tariff.

Trialing Ringless Voicemails
PRESS RELEASE
TRIALING RINGLESS VOICEMAILS
18 May 2018 | By: Realgy, LLC
Constant advancements in technology occur every day. Pushing the limits and creating solutions to make daily responsibilities more efficient are the norm. To spread knowledge about the Energy Choice Program in each state, Realgy is trialing a new system that does just that. We will be sending out Ringless Voicemails (RVMs) to potential customers. You may discover that you suddenly have a voice message without hearing the familiar sound of the phone ringing. Many companies have employed RVMs to generate and increase knowledge on various topics.
We want customers to know they have a choice on where their supply comes from and how much money Realgy can save them compared to the utility. We will begin with Indiana and the NIPSCO Choice Program. The message will be for NIPSCO customers that we have unsuccessfully attempted to reach and will direct customers to our site www.nipscochoiceprogram.com. It will state that you are eligible for a guaranteed savings and the average Realgy customer saves almost 19%.
