In Port Huron DTE Electric Company is suing St. Clair County over new rules making it tougher to build solar farms. The county’s regulations, set in May of this year, demand stricter noise limits and costly decommissioning plans, which DTE says break state laws meant to boost clean energy. The lawsuit, filed in early July, claims these rules could stall local solar projects, hurting Michigan’s goal of cleaner energy by 2040. A court will decide the issue later this year. DTE’s attorneys declined to comment.
