What is a Power Purchase Agreement, how does it make DTG more sustainable?

Sustainability is a term getting tossed around more and more in the automotive industry - especially since General Motors announced their plan to go completely electric by 2035. As a supplier for GM, this puts Dominion right at the center of this discussion.

A few big steps have been taken to make Dominion a more sustainable company - installing LED lights, recycling and reducing paper use, and even entering a power purchasing agreement with DTE.

So, what exactly is a Power Purchase Agreement? Simply put, this contract allows a company to work with their energy supplier and specify where exactly the energy a company uses comes from.

Dominion has entered a program with DTE Energy called Electric Choice. As a company, we say where a portion of our electricity originates from and get to chose from one or more Alternative Electric Suppliers besides DTE Energy.

Electric Choice separates electric service into 3 basic components: generation, transmission and distribution.

DTG is helping to promote sustainable energy by entering this agreement and therefore, reducing it's carbon footprint by choosing electric providers that use more green energy. It is the responsibility of manufactures like ours to protect the environment anyway we can.
