DTE Energy is installing a solar farm in Isabella County.

The company broke ground Wednesday at Mt. Pleasant’s Mission Road Park where it will install 350,000 solar panels on about 1,000, capable of generating 158 megawatts of electricity and powering around 38,000 homes and businesses, according to company officials.

DTE says the Mission Road Park farm is one of six solar projects slated for Michigan, capable of powering around 200,000 homes in all.
