DTE Energy Co (NYSE:DTE) has had a strong start to 2025, positioning itself well to meet its targets for the year. The company has been recognized by the Gallup Organization for the 13th consecutive year with a great workplace award, highlighting high employee engagement. DTE Energy Co (NYSE:DTE) is committed to reducing power outages by 30% and cutting outage time in half over the next five years, with significant improvements already observed. The company is making substantial investments in renewable energy, with plans to build 800 megawatts of renewable energy per year on average over the next five years. DTE Energy Co (NYSE:DTE) has a strong balance sheet and investment-grade credit ratings, supporting its customer-focused capital investment plan and premium shareholder returns. DTE Energy Co (NYSE:DTE) faces potential tariff exposure, although it is currently estimated to be manageable at 1% to 2% of the capital plan. The company has a margin exposure of around 3% to 4% from the auto sector, which could be impacted by economic downturns or changes in tariffs. There is uncertainty regarding the impact of potential changes to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on tax credit transferability, which could affect financing strategies. DTE Energy Co (NYSE:DTE) is still in the early stages of discussions regarding data center opportunities, with no immediate need for a tariff structure but potential future requirements. The company is reliant on Safe Harbor provisions for renewable investments through 2027, which could be impacted by changes in federal policies or tariffs. Q: How do tariffs impact DTE Energy's exposure to the auto sector and the general economic activity in your service territory? A: Jerry Norcia, CEO, explained that recent modifications to tariffs, particularly on auto parts, have provided significant relief to automakers. The Michigan economy remains resilient, with no significant reductions in production or plant adjustments. David Ruud, CFO, added that actual sales were up due to favorable weather, and economic indicators like housing permits and employment are positive, supporting a strong economic outlook. Q: Can you provide an update on the data center opportunities and potential growth in this area? A: Joi Harris, COO, stated that data center conversations are ongoing with no slowdown. DTE has executed agreements for 2.1 gigawatts and is working on additional opportunities totaling roughly 3 gigawatts. The urgency is driven by legislation requiring construction to begin by 2028 to benefit from tax exemptions. The goal is to finalize agreements by the end of the year. Q: What is DTE Energy's margin exposure to the auto sector, and how might this change with increased data center activity? A: David Ruud, CFO, noted that the margin from autos is around 3% to 4% of total margins, with a 10% change having minimal impact. The data center load is expected to provide about 4% load growth over the next five years, potentially reducing the relative weighting of the auto sector. Q: How did DTE Energy's energy trading segment perform, and what is the outlook for the year? A: David Ruud, CFO, reported that energy trading earned $34 million in the quarter, with guidance for the year at $50 million to $60 million. Strong performance continues in contracted and hedged power and gas portfolios, with potential for further favorability throughout the year. Q: What is the status of DTE Energy's renewable energy plan, and how does it align with the IRP process? A: Joi Harris, COO, stated that the renewable energy plan is in line with the IRP, with a strong pipeline and land positions. The plan includes significant investments in solar, wind, and battery storage, with no changes anticipated in the near term based on current filings.

The company also reported first quarter earnings of $445 million or $2.14 per diluted share, compared with $313 million, or $1.51 per diluted share in 2024. Operating earnings for the first quarter 2025 were $436 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared with 2024 operating earnings of $346 million, or $1.67 per diluted share. Operating earnings exclude non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations. Reconciliations of reported earnings to operating earnings are included at the end of this news release. 'We know that when we invest, it works, which is why we are making significant investments to build the electric grid of the future, making it more resilient to extreme weather and more reliable for our customers,' said Jerry Norcia, DTE Energy chairman and CEO. 'At the same time, our innovative and highly engaged workforce is rebuilding our generation fleet to create a more balanced and diversified mix of energy.' Norcia noted the following accomplishments: Invested nearly $370 million to improve electric infrastructure for customers: So far this year, DTE Electric has invested nearly $370 million to continue to build the electric grid of the future and build on the improved electric reliability that customers experienced in 2024. Last year, DTE's investments into transitioning to a smarter grid, aggressively updating existing infrastructure, rebuilding significant portions of the electric grid and trimming trees, coupled with less extreme weather impacting the service territory, led to a nearly 70% decrease in time spent without power for customers in 2024, compared to 2023. Year-to-date, DTE customers have experienced a nearly 60% reduction in time spent without power, compared to the first quarter of 2024. Began operations of Michigan's largest battery energy storage system: DTE began operations of its first utility-scale battery energy storage facility, Slocum Energy Center, in Trenton in February. At 14 megawatts, Slocum is the largest facility of its kind operating in Michigan and is comprised of 95 state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery segments capable of storing and releasing enough energy to power 2,500 homes. Slocum was designed as a pilot project and will provide valuable insights for DTE's future energy storage initiatives, including the company's 220-megawatt Trenton Channel Energy Center, which is slated for operations in 2026 and will be 15 times the size of Slocum. As part of its transformational CleanVision Integrated Resource Plan, DTE will have more than 2,900 megawatts of energy storage by 2042, doubling its total energy storage capacity. This plan aligns with Michigan's statewide energy storage target and its carbon neutrality goal. Boosted small businesses with energy efficiency upgrade grants: As part of its Energy Efficiency Makeover contest, DTE awarded three small businesses in Michigan with $5,000 for energy efficiency improvements. The winning Michigan small businesses were chosen for demonstrating knowledge, commitment and a need for energy efficiency improvements. In addition to the prize money, winners will receive a walk-through energy assessment with a DTE energy advisor, including business-specific energy efficiency recommendations and help in coordinating the installation of upgrades. Recognized as a Gallup Exceptional Workplace for 13th consecutive year: DTE was recognized by Gallup as a workplace with exceptionally high employee engagement – in the top six percent of Gallup's worldwide database of companies. Outlook for 2025 DTE Energy confirms 2025 operating EPS guidance of $7.09 - $7.23. 'We remain focused on achieving strong financial results and a constructive relationship with our regulators to continue investing above our generated cash flows,' said David Ruud, DTE executive vice president and CFO.

DTE Energy reports 2024 accomplishments, investments and earnings
Top-tier customer bill management; reduced customers' bills by $300 million in fuel and transportation cost savings Invested $4.4 billion in electric and gas infrastructure to improve reliability and generate cleaner energy Customers experienced a nearly 70% improvement in time spent without power from 2023 to 2024 Supported vulnerable customers by connecting them to $144 million in energy assistance Championed legislation to assist low-income customers Brought comfort to Michigan families with $63 million in Energy Efficiency Assistance Improved safety, reliability and service for natural gas customers Launched DTE's largest solar park and battery energy storage center Invested a record $3.3 billion in local business and championed job creation in Michigan DETROIT, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE) today announced that it invested a record amount in 2024 in utility infrastructure, which helped customers experience a nearly 70% reduction in time spent without power. DTE Electric invested over $2.5 billion in infrastructure improvements and $1.1 billion in cleaner generation, while DTE Gas invested $740 million to upgrade its natural gas system and expand service to rural communities. The company also reported 2024 earnings of $1.4 billion, or $6.77 per diluted share, compared with $1.4 billion, or $6.76 per diluted share in 2023. Operating earnings for 2024 were $1.4 billion, or $6.83 per diluted share, compared with 2023 operating earnings of $1.2 billion, or $5.73 per diluted share. Operating earnings exclude non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations. Reconciliations of reported earnings to operating earnings are included at the end of this news release. '2024 was a breakthrough year for our company. We invested a historic $4 billion to modernize our infrastructure, which enabled our team to make significant progress building the electric grid of the future and upgrading our natural gas pipelines to produce more reliable, affordable and cleaner energy for our customers,' said Jerry Norcia, DTE Energy chairman and CEO. 'Furthermore, our progress in 2024 positions DTE to support Michigan's economic growth by powering the rise of data centers and the electrification of vehicles.' Norcia noted the following accomplishments: Top-tier bill management for customers; reduced customers' bills by $300 million in fuel and transportation cost savings: Reduced the Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR) mechanism, which represents the actual cost of the fuel and other sources the company uses to produce electricity, by approximately $300 million through 2025. This adjustment reduced residential customers' average electric bill by approximately $5 per month starting Nov. 1, 2024. Combined with this bill reduction, the electric rate order from the Michigan Public Service Commission results in residential electric customers not experiencing an increase in their monthly bills. Through supplier cost management, operational excellence and energy efficiency initiatives, DTE can claim top-tier bill management since 2021. Customers experienced a nearly 70% improvement in time spent without power from 2023 to 2024: DTE Electric made great progress toward improving reliability in 2024 by installing more than 450 smart technology reclosers, upgrading existing infrastructure including 850 miles of power lines and 3,400 utility poles, and trimming more than 4,300 miles of trees. This work to build a smarter, stronger and more resilient grid, coupled with less extreme weather, resulted in DTE customers experiencing a nearly 70% improvement in time spent without power from 2023 to 2024. Supported vulnerable customers by connecting them to $144 million in energy assistance: In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, DTE continued its partnership with human service agencies to connect vulnerable customers to nearly $144 million in energy assistance, providing access to more than $660 million in financial aid over the last five years. Championed legislation to assist low-income customers: Worked shoulder to shoulder with community leaders to double the Michigan Energy Assistance Program (MEAP) funding to $100 million in five years and increase the eligibility of MEAP funds to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Brought comfort to Michigan families with $63 million in Energy Efficiency Assistance: DTE's Energy Efficiency Assistance (EEA) program provided $63 million in critical home upgrades at no cost to income-qualified customers, helping them lower their energy bills while improving their comfort and safety. Nearly 5,000 Michigan families benefit annually from EEA upgrades like new LED light bulbs, insulation, air sealing and furnace and boiler tune-ups or replacements, high-efficiency water heaters and ENERGY STAR® refrigerators. This year, DTE allocated over $2 million to Detroit's North Coyle neighborhood, where families face some of the city's highest energy usage and completed nearly 3,000 HVAC upgrades and replacements for residents in this area and across the service territory. Improved safety, reliability and service for natural gas customers: DTE Gas ensured the continued delivery of safe and reliable energy to 1.3 million customers across Michigan by replacing cast iron pipes with more durable materials and moving nearly 16,000 natural gas meters to the outside of homes and businesses to ensure people's safety. DTE Gas also expanded natural gas service to 3,200 new customers in central and northern Michigan and earned top score in Customer Satisfaction for Business Natural Gas Service in Midwest from J.D. Power. Launched DTE's largest solar park and battery energy storage center: Sauk Solar, a 150-megawatt solar park with nearly 347,000 solar panels, began operations in October in central Michigan, generating enough clean energy to power approximately 40,000 homes. Sauk is the first of six new solar parks to come online, all of which are funded by customers voluntarily enrolled in MIGreenPower. As Michigan's largest producer of and investor in renewable energy, DTE also broke ground on the region's largest battery energy storage plant, the Trenton Channel Energy Center, in June.

DTE Energy celebrates energy assistance expansion, thanks to 'Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm'
Detroit, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, DTE Energy joined with 120 human service agencies, religious organizations and businesses, known as the 'Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm,' to celebrate new laws that will expand energy assistance to more Michiganders. DTE and other members of the coalition, were joined by Governor Whitmer, legislators and community leaders to celebrate the bipartisan collaboration that was necessary to successfully break down barriers and secure this vital funding for Michiganders in need. 'I am so proud that Republicans and Democrats came together to expand energy assistance for 330,000 Michigan families, helping them stay warm in the winter and cool through the summer,' said Governor Whitmer. 'Michiganders are still facing high costs, and we need to work together to keep finding commonsense ways to save them money. By expanding MEAP eligibility and making it even easier to sign up, we are making sure that no one has to put on an extra sweater just to eat dinner and kids can come home after a long, hot day playing outside and cool off. Everyone deserves to live in a safe, comfortable, and affordable home, and I am grateful that we came together to lower costs and get this done.' 'While DTE is focused on making transformational investments to provide our customers with cleaner, more reliable energy, we're also committed to keeping bills as low as possible. Despite these investments, we're proud to have kept residential customer bills below the national average and bill increases below the rate of inflation – every bit of savings counts for our customers,' said Jerry Norcia, DTE Chairman and CEO. 'We're so grateful for the passion brought by The Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm, legislators and community leaders who stood together to knock down barriers and better meet the changing needs of our most vulnerable customers.' 'I'm thankful for the Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm and our government partners who worked tirelessly to advocate for the passage of these bills, which will help so many families across our state,' said Dr. Darienne Hudson, president and CEO of United Way for Southeastern Michigan. 'This MEAP expansion will ensure more households living below the ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) threshold can access critical utility assistance in a time of need. United Way is committed to helping families move from crisis to stability, and from stability to prosperity, and we're thrilled to celebrate this additional pathway of support.' 'I'm proud to have partnered with nonprofit leaders, religious organizations and businesses to form the Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm that fought for those in my community, making sure their needs were heard,' said Reverend Richard White III of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. 'I'm thrilled to celebrate the passage of the energy assistance expansion bills alongside these advocates and to know that more funding will be available to even more Michiganders.' At the end of last year, the Michigan legislature, with a bipartisan vote, passed four pieces of legislation to expand the funding available for low-income Michiganders under the Michigan Energy Assistance Program (MEAP), as well as expanded the eligibility criteria for the program. The four bills recently signed into law by Governor Whitmer will: Double MEAP funding from $50 million today to $100 million over the next five years, allowing the funds to serve twice as many customers. Increase the eligibility of MEAP funds so that any Michigander at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level would be eligible. Today, that threshold is 150% of the Federal Poverty Level. MEAP funds will be allocated to low-income customers who reside in the geographic area where the funds are generated. Create sustainability as the surcharge that funds MEAP will be capped at $2 per meter but can be adjusted by the Michigan Public Service Commission, based on inflation. During the event, remarks were provided by Governor Whitmer, DTE Chairman and CEO Jerry Norcia, United Way for Southeastern Michigan CEO Dr. Darienne Hudson, and President of the Council of Baptist Pastors, Rev. Richard White. These bills will go into effect on October 1, 2025, at the beginning of the State's fiscal year.
