Plant Background:
The plant and site is located in both the cities of Detroit and Hamtramck. Detroit-Hamtramck currently operates on one shift, on a four day (Mon. – Thurs.) week, ten hour per day schedule.
Plant Green Initiatives:
- For several years now the plant has been the proud home to a 16.5-acre wildlife habitat conservation area that has received recognition and certification from the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC).
- In 2010, additional green based renovations have taken place, including a walkway to the Visitors Lobby that features less concrete utilizing a lightning bolt design that is trimmed by a new rain garden that filters rain water from the walkway.
- The 30kW Solar Carport in the Visitors Parking Lot has the capability of charging 12 Volts and Ampera's off the grid.
- In partnership with a local utility company a 516kW solar array, 6.06 acres in size is located in a former section of an employee parking lot that is capable of providing 10% of the fixed demand for the plant.
