English Español 7-Eleven ensures clean energy throughout its Michigan retail network

The company has signed a 20-year agreement with DTE Energy’s MIGreenPower program to achieve 100% clean energy for all of its 160 state’s southeast locations.



Last update:

DTE Energy and 7-Eleven have announced the retailer’s enrollment in MIGreenPower, DTE’s voluntary renewable energy program. The enrollment will enable the brand to achieve 100% renewable energy for all 160 of its southeast Michigan locations for 20 years beginning in 2025.

The signing is part of the company's emission reduction strategy, which began with its goal of reaching a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions from its stores by fiscal year 2027. This has been achieved well ahead of target with a 25.8% reduction in carbon emissions in fiscal year 2019 and continued its efforts with a 27% reduction in 2021. 

As a result, the company has expanded its goal to achieve 50% reduction in carbon emissions by fiscal year 2030. Going forward, 7-Eleven will continue to promote activities aimed at reducing its environmental impact, including the installation of electric vehicle charging stations and the expansion of stores that use 100% renewable energy.

“Through its enrollment in our MIGreenPower program, 7-Eleven is helping to bring new Michigan-based wind and solar resources online that will support Michigan’s clean energy transition, create jobs and strengthen Michigan’s economy,” said Brian Calka, Vice President of Renewable Sales and Project Development for DTE Energy.

DTE’s renewable energy portfolio includes more than 50 wind and solar parks generating enough clean energy to power nearly 700,000 homes. Over the next three years, DTE plans to add thousands of megawatts of new renewable energy to meet the continued growth of its MIGreenPower program.
