Part of a shuttered power plant near Detroit was demolished Friday by explosives that turned the hulking structure into piles of rubble and kicked up a wall of dust mixed with flames.TRENTON, Mich. — Part of a shuttered power plant near Detroit was demolished Friday by explosives that turned the hulking structure into piles of rubble and kicked up a wall of dust and flames.
A line of controlled explosives detonated across the base of the former Trenton Channel Power Plant’s boiler house around 6 a.m. just before the nine-story, 180-foot tall structure began collapsing along the Detroit River.
The coal-burning power plant was retired in 2022 after nearly a century of generating electricity. It was demolished as part of DTE Energy’s shift towardproject in the Great Lakes, DTE Energy said. It will be able to store 220 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 40,000 homes, according to the utility.
Until they were demolished in March, the Trenton Channel Power Plant site also featured two 600-foot tall red-and-white striped smokestacks that had long been a local landmark.
