Many factors may impact forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the following: the length and severity of ongoing economic decline resulting in lower demand, customer conservation and increased thefts of electricity and gas; changes in the economic and financial viability of our customers, suppliers, and trading counterparties, and the continued ability of such parties to perform their obligations to the Company; high levels of uncollectible accounts receivable; access to capital markets and capital market conditions and the results of other financing efforts which can be affected by credit agency ratings; instability in capital markets which could impact availability of short and long-term financing; potential for continued loss on investments, including nuclear decommissioning and benefit plan assets and the related increases in future expense and contributions; the timing and extent of changes in interest rates; the level of borrowings; the availability, cost, coverage and terms of insurance and stability of insurance providers; the effects of weather and other natural phenomena on operations and sales to customers, and purchases from suppliers; economic climate and population growth or decline in the geographic areas where we do business; environmental issues, laws, regulations, and the increasing costs of remediation and compliance, including actual and potential new federal and state requirements that could include carbon and more stringent mercury emission controls, a renewable portfolio standard, energy efficiency mandates, and a carbon tax or cap and trade structure; nuclear regulations and operations associated with nuclear facilities; impact of electric and gas utility restructuring in Michigan, including legislative amendments and Customer Choice programs; employee relations and the impact of collective bargaining agreements; unplanned outages; changes in the cost and availability of coal and other raw materials, purchased power and natural gas; volatility in the short-term natural gas storage markets impacting third-party storage revenues; cost reduction efforts and the maximization of plant and distribution system performance; the effects of competition; the uncertainties of successful exploration of gas shale resources and challenges in estimating gas reserves with certainty; impact of regulation by the FERC, MPSC, NRC and other applicable governmental proceedings and regulations, including any associated impact on rate structures; changes in and application of federal, state and local tax laws and their interpretations, including the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, rulings, court proceedings and audits; the amount and timing of cost recovery allowed as a result of regulatory proceedings, related appeals or new legislation; the cost of protecting assets against, or damage due to, terrorism; changes in and application of accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; changes in federal or state laws and their interpretation with respect to regulation, energy policy and other business issues; and binding arbitration, litigation and related appeals.

Utility Value Creation Strategy Expected to Produce Consistent Results Predictable rate case outcomes enable investment and job creation Solid regulatory framework reduces regulatory lag Open communication builds strong relationships Positive customer feedback Manageable rate increases Competitive business rates spur economic development Strong Regulatory Model Cost Reductions & Capital Efficiency Customer Satisfaction Consistent Earnings Growth 9

Legislation Strengthened Michigan's Regulatory Framework Cap Electric Choice at 10% Provides certainty around needed investment to secure future generation Removing rate subsidies reduces Choice incentives File and use rate-making Self-implement rates after 6 months 12 month deadline for rate cases Forward test year Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) & Energy Efficiency (EO) Separate funding provisions Cost to rate payers is transparent Cost caps and off-ramps Certificate of need process Approval of major projects before money is spent Allows recovery of interest during construction Reduces utility risk profile 12 month rate case deadline and 6 month file and self-implement reduces regulatory lag, not only for rate base increases but also load and expense risk RPS structure provides for pre- funding, avoids regulatory lag, caps impact to customers and provides off-ramps to utilities if targets aren't achievable 11

12 Targets up to 10% of retail sales to come from renewable sources by 2015, with interim targets in prior years designed to "close the gap" New renewable capacity targets of 300 MWs by 2012; 600 MWs by 2015 Qualified technologies include: wind, solar, biomass, hydro, some co-generation applications Must be Michigan based; with some exceptions Allows 50% of RECs to come from renewable generation owned by the utility Remainder to be sourced through competitive bids; with some exceptions Limits on rate impacts are implemented through surcharge caps; cost recovery over 20 years "Off-ramp" provisions allow extensions or reductions in targets if costs are excessive or other constraints prevent compliance Key Provisions of the Michigan RPS Legislation Targets Compliance Options Ownership Cost Caps 12

Investments in Renewable Energy Provide for Significant Earnings Growth Net Income ($ millions) Capital Investment ($ millions) Longer-term, RPS investments will increase net income by an average of $40 - $45 million per year The one-time rate increase to support this was implemented in Sept. 2009 ~$100 $100-200 ~$300 13

14 Key Provisions for Energy Efficiency (EO) Legislation in Michigan Compliance Options Targets Funding Includes energy efficiency, conservation, and demand response (electric) Providers (utilities) can operate compliance programs or fund a state program Legislation limits annual spending via a customer surcharge Funds received from a customer class must be spent on that class All classes will contribute toward low income residential programs Earnings Requires Detroit Edison programs to ramp to 1% annual savings by 2012 Requires MichCon programs to ramp to 0.75% savings by 2012 Equipment, materials and installation costs with an expected economic life greater than 1 year can be capitalized, generating earnings at allowed ROE Detroit Edison and MichCon each can earn incentives of up to 15% of total annual spend by exceeding reduction targets MichCon may decouple revenues from volumetric sales if EO spend is at least 0.5% of revenue

Summary of Utility Rate Base Growth The quantity of investment opportunities is not the issue The affordability of these investments is the issue DTE's utility rate base will grow 5% - 6% over next 5 years Much of this growth is tied to environmental and renewable mandates How can DTE ensure that: Rate increases are affordable for customers? MPSC is able to support quality returns on investments? 18

Cost Reductions Help Keep Rates Affordable Illustrative customer rate impact from sustained cost savings and high capital investment Revenue Deficiency Revenue Sufficiency 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Increasing need for rate increase due to investments Decreasing need for rate increase due to cost reductions Net required rate increase Cost reductions help mitigate unfavorable economic conditions and future cost pressures Gross rate increase Cost reductions We will have achieved $150M in company-wide cost reductions and revenue enhancements in 2009 No degradation of customer service, reliability or employee safety We still have opportunities for meaningful improvement 19

2009 Utility O&M Expense* Significant increase in pension and healthcare expense (related to asset returns) Increases are more than offset by continuous improvement actions of $100 million and one-time cost savings of $30 million ($ millions) * Excludes bad debt expense Pension, healthcare, environmental and other costs Utility O&M Expected to be Down $65 Million from 2008 Continuous Improvement and one-time cost savings 20
