US-based DTE Energy has retired the last operating unit of its River Rouge coal-fired power plant along the Detroit River, a facility that came online in 1956 and entered commercial operation in 1958.
DTE plans to close three of its remaining five coal-fired power plants by the end of next year, a number that includes the 358-MW River Rouge.
The retirement of River Rouge is among moves taken as part of DTE Energy's program to reduce carbon emissions. The Detroit-based utility has increased its investment in solar and wind power.
