Question: Can you clarify if all projects in LRZ7 qualify for this RFP? Do projects in ITC transmission territory in Michigan qualify?

Answer: Transmission-connected projects located anywhere within LRZ 7 are eligible. There is no requirement for transmission-connected projects to be in DTE’s electric service area; however, projects that are in DTE’s electric service area and that are located electrically near the Monroe Power Plant may provide additional benefits that will be considered in the evaluation. Distribution-connected projects should be interconnected with DTE’s distribution system.
