DTE Energy's Strategy Maintain a sound regulated utility base that supports an attractive dividend Enhance traditional utility growth with an integrated portfolio of non-utility businesses Create and expand businesses that are closely linked to our core skills Seek businesses with attractive competitive dynamics Continue geographic focus on Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States Preserve balance sheet strength

DTE Energy Is Well Positioned With the recovery of the utilities, we expect earnings to rebound significantly in 2005 The current challenges are very manageable Our strategy effective over the long-term Expected cash flows provide a high degree of flexibility Our balance sheet remains solid with metrics expected to improve over the next few years Our dividend is attractive and consistent

Q1 2005 Review Overall operating earnings were flat on a year-over-year basis. Key drivers were: Benefit of Detroit Edison rate relief Deferral of CoEnergy storage earnings to the next storage cycle Deferral of some synfuel net income offset by mark-to-market gains from oil options Cash flow was higher than last year and we were recently moved to stable credit outlook by Moody's We are maintaining our previous 2005 earnings and cash flow guidance and are on track to meet our commitments We continue our progress on the regulatory front Received the MichCon final rate order Recently made a number of additional regulatory filings We continue to grow our non-utility businesses and reinvest cash from the synfuel business

Sound Regulated Utility Base Continued Non-Utility Growth Maintain Balance Sheet Strength Summary

Detroit Edison's Recent Rate Order Contained Many Attractive Provisions The final rate order provided: $374M base rate increase ($248M net of PSCR reduction), which will be fully realized in 2006 Authorized 11% ROE based on 46% equity and $2.9B equity level Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR) mechanism modified to include the pass through of transmission and NOx emission allowance costs, in addition to fuel and purchased power costs Established a pension expense tracker that matches cost recovery with costs incurred; invited filing for a retiree health care cost tracker Full recovery of $550M of past environmental expenditures Surcharges established to recover almost $400M of accrued regulatory assets

Progress was Made on Choice, but Work Remains to be Done The final order addressed a number of Choice related issues: Included revenue in base rates to address Electric Choice losses Established a number of return to service provisions Adjusted transition charges to recover $44M in historical choice related costs Increased distribution charge for secondary (lower voltage) customers Recognizing the need to address rates that are not reflective of the actual cost of service, the MPSC ordered Detroit Edison to file a proposal to restructure its rates

Detroit Edison Rate Restructuring Proposal Intention is to eliminate subsidies that have historically existed in Detroit Edison's rates and eliminate artificial price signals The Rate Restructuring proposal would: Unbundle rates into power supply and distribution components Establish rates based on actual cost of service for all customers Rate subsidies, either positive or negative, would be reflected as a non-bypassable wires charge Unbundled rates would become effective January 1, 2006 and rate subsidies would be phased out over a five year period beginning in 2007 No incremental revenues are being requested as overall revenue requirement is based on Detroit Edison's recent rate order Pre Post 9.6 10.9 Residential 9.6¢ Pre Post 10.1 8.3 Commercial & Industrial Secondary 10.1¢ Pre Post 5.8 5.2 Commercial & Industrial Primary Current Bundled Rates Proposed Unbundled & Cost Based Rates 5.8¢ 10.9¢ 8.3¢ 5.2¢ Average Rates (¢/KWh) Current Bundled Rates Proposed Unbundled & Cost Based Rates Current Bundled Rates Proposed Unbundled & Cost Based Rates

MichCon Regulatory Orders On April 28, we received the final rate order for MichCon. The order provided: $61M of base rate increase Tracking mechanism for uncollectibles expense Allowed rate of return on common equity of 11% A 50/50 debt to equity ratio We also received a final order in the 2002 GCR reconciliation case Disallowed costs of $26M Since this applies to prior periods, it will not impact 2005 operating earnings We are currently analyzing the orders to determine their expected impact.

Significant Progress in Implementing the DTE Energy Operating System Operating System Savings ($ millions) 2002 2003 2004 2005E DTEOS savings 20 45 105 125 The redesign of our medium-sized transformer repair process resulted in overall repair costs being cut in half Boiler run time between furnace cleanings increased from 30 days to more than 200 days at our Belle River power plant, producing more the $8M per year in savings Examples:

DTE Energy Operating Earnings Per Share Utility Earnings Are Expected to Recover From 1997-2002 we achieved our targeted growth in a turbulent industry environment In 2003-2004 cost pressures and Electric Choice had a significant impact on earnings In 2003 both utilities filed their first general rate cases in 10 years Electric Choice volumes peaked at ~19% of total load in 2004 With continued non-utility growth and increased regulatory stability, earnings are expected to recover 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005E Non-Utility 3.05 3.33 3.27 3.48 3.55 2.97 2.46 3.3 0.3 $3.05 $3.33 $3.27 $3.48 $3.55 $2.97 $2.46 $3.30-3.60

Sound Regulated Utility Base Continued Non-Utility Growth Maintain Balance Sheet Strength Summary

Continued Non-Utility Growth We will continue to pursue growth at our non-utility businesses Adhering to our well-established strategy, these businesses will be closely linked to our core skills originally developed at the utilities, such as coal handling and processing, industrial projects, unconventional gas production and gas storage The synfuel business is expected to generate $1.6B from 2005-2008, providing a unique opportunity for redeployment Non-utility Net Income ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005E Detroit Edison ROE 42 68 84 162 205 231 241 300 20 $42 $68 $84 $162 $205 $231 $241 $300-320

Synfuel Cash Represents a Substantial Opportunity Redeployment of synfuel cash represents a unique opportunity to increase shareholder value and strengthen the balance sheet ~ 90% of capacity sold to other investors, whereby DTE realizes cash proceeds as synfuel is produced Tax credits expire in 2007; cash flow ends in 2008 The value of synfuel tax credit start to phase out when the average annual NYMEX price exceeds $58/bbl (for 2005); total phase out occurs at an average annual price of ~$71/bbl A significant potion of synfuel cash flow is protected from rising oil prices: 70-75% of 2005 synfuel cash 55% of 2006 synfuel cash 2005 2006 2007 2008 Total 415 900 1360 Cash from Operations 325 365 380 135 1205 Tax Credit Carryforward 90 120 80 120 410 Cash from operations Cash realization of previously earned tax credits ($ millions) $400 $1,200 $420 $490 $460 $260 ~$1,600

2005-2008 Cash Redeployment Framework Balance Sheet Targets Excess Cash Share Repurchase Growth Investment Our objectives for cash redeployment are: Strengthen coverage ratios to improve current and long-term credit ratings Replace and exceed ~$7.50 of value that synfuel cash flows currently represent in share price Our first use of this cash will be to reduce parent debt From 2005-2008, intend to paydown $600-700M of parent company debt We will continue to pursue growth investments that meet our strict risk-return and value creation criteria Share repurchases will be used to build share value if adequate investment opportunities are not available. We currently have a $700M stock repurchase authorization

Cash Available for Redeployment after Debt Reduction Cash Available for Redeployment ($ millions) $450-500 Cash Available for Redeployment Parent Debt Retirement Target Cash Available for Investment or Stock Buyback $200 $250-300 $1,650 Cash Available for Redeployment Parent Debt Retirement Target Cash Available for Investment or Stock Buyback $600-700 $950-1,050 2005-2008 2005

Synfuel Earnings Background Quarterly earnings from synfuels primarily come from two sources: Quarterly payments received from partners in our projects as tax credits are allocated to them These payments are subject to gain recognition accounting Mark-to-market gains/losses from the oil options we purchased last year to protect a portion of our 2005 synfuel cash flow that is exposed to crude oil price risk The hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting; the changes in fair market value are recorded in current earnings

Recognition of Synfuel Earnings: Payments Received from Buyers Accounting principles for gain recognition of our synfuel sales proceeds are very conservative Sale proceeds cannot be recognized until there is evidence they have become determinable and collectability has been reasonably assured Due to the rise in oil prices, a possibility exists that the reference price for oil could reach the threshold at which section 29 tax credits phase out The certainty requirement for recognition of sale proceeds is very high. A more than remote probability of phase-out leads to not recognizing some portion of sales proceeds for the quarter. We believe the possibility of phase-out is remote, but the accounting standard is very high Until the accounting certainty requirement has been met, we expect to defer recognition of a portion of synfuel sales proceeds until later in the year

Recognition of 2005 Synfuel Earnings * Assumes average oil price for the calendar year remains below the phase-out threshold ($ millions, after-tax)

Recognition of Synfuel Earnings Payments Received from Buyers (Cont.) Synfuel sale proceeds are received from our partners on a quarterly basis, and are comprised of two parts: Fixed Note Payments of principal and interest, which are not tied to tax credits generated Earnings from these payments are not impacted by gain recognition accounting and are recognized when received Variable Note Payments equal to the product of a negotiated rate and an estimate of tax credits allocated to our partners, less the fixed note payment and capital contributions made by the buyer These payments are subject to gain accounting; their recognition is deferred until the probability of a section 29 tax credit phase-out is assessed as remote

Recognition of 2005 Synfuel Earnings: Payments Received from Buyers No Recognition Issues Payments Received, but Remote Probability of Phase-Out Until Q3 Fixed Note Payment Variable Note Payment ILLUSTRATIVE Total Net Income: $215-225M Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Synfuel Cash Flow Update 2005 Approximately 70-75% of the $420M in synfuel cash flow is protected through a combination of the following: use of prior year tax credits, cash payments received to date, and the purchase of option contracts* We spent $17M after-tax in option premiums; $7M impacted 2004 earnings; $11M will impact 2005 earnings 2006 Approximately 55%** of the $490M in synfuel cash flow is protected through the purchase of option contracts and the use of prior year tax credits* To date, we have spent $20M after-tax in option premiums We continue to monitor the volatility in oil prices and alternatives for mitigating our unhedged oil price exposure. If events merit, we will hedge an additional portion of 2006 and 2007 cash flows ** Assumes no phase out of tax credits occurs in 2005. If 2005 phase out occurs and prior year credits are not received, approximately 30% of synfuel cash flow is protected in 2006 * Assumes that synfuel production is managed to minimize net operating losses
