Overview Overall, Q1 2006 was a strong quarter, with an 11% increase in operating earnings over Q1 2005 Year-over-year improvement at Detroit Edison due to expiration of the residential rate cap and lower choice volumes Flat earnings at MichCon with the rate increase offset by significantly warmer weather Non-utility earnings increased due to flow back of timing-related impacts partially offset by higher synfuel deferrals We are maintaining our 2006 guidance* which forecasts a 10-20% increase in operating earnings over 2005 As we detailed at our Business Update meeting earlier this month, we are planning substantial investments in our utility and non-utility businesses, which will provide the potential for average operating earnings growth of 9-10% from 2006-2010 * 2006 guidance assumes no synfuel tax credit phase out; see slide 15 for phase out impacts

DTE Energy's Investment Thesis Strong Q1 2006 results - 11% operating earnings improvement over Q1 2005 DTE Energy plans to create significant value for shareholders over the next five years The utilities are positioned to grow earnings 6% per year while driving a customer focused investment program Our three non-utility businesses have opportunities to grow earnings and increase cash flow The balance sheet is stable and we have sufficient flexibility to execute our plan The dividend yield is attractive, and as the payout ratio decreases, we are open to considering a dividend increase

Upcoming Events DTE Energy's Annual Meeting of Shareholders begins at 10:00AM (eastern) today. Both Tony Earley and Gerry Anderson will present Presentation at the AGA Financial Forum by Steve Ewing on Monday, May 8 at 4:20PM (eastern) Both events will be webcast at www.dteenergy.com/investors

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 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

Q1 2006 Synfuel Operating Earnings Detail ($ millions, after-tax) * Reconciliation to GAAP reported earnings included in this appendix

Reconciliation of Q1 2005 & Q1 2006 Synfuel Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings ($ millions, after-tax) Use of Operating Earnings Information - DTE Energy management believes that operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's earnings from ongoing operations and uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors. Internally, DTE Energy uses operating earnings to measure performance against budget and to report to the Board of Directors.

Recognition of Synfuel Earnings: Payments Received from Buyers Accounting principles for gain recognition of our synfuel sales proceeds are conservative Sale proceeds cannot be recognized until there is evidence they have become determinable and collectability has been reasonably assured It is likely that the reference price for oil will reach the threshold at which synfuel-related tax credits begin to phase out The certainty requirement for recognition of sale proceeds is very high. More than a remote probability of phase out leads to not recognizing some portion of sales proceeds for the quarter

Synfuel Cash Protected Assumptions No prior year tax credit phase out for 2005 No reduction in forecasted taxable income - AMT carryforwards used by 2010 Excludes impact of potential future incremental hedging Production forecast is realized

Definition of Reserve Classifications Proved Reserves - quantities of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions Unproved Reserves - recovery of unproved reserves is considered to be less certain than proved reserves. Estimates of unproved reserves are based on data similar to proved reserves, but technical, contractual, economic considerations or Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulations prevent such reserves from being classified as proved. Unproved reserves may be further sub-classified as probable and possible to denote progressively increasing uncertainty of recoverability. Probable Reserves - estimates of unproved reserves that data suggest are more likely than not to be recoverable.

Reconciliation of 2004 & 2005 Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings Use of Operating Earnings Information - DTE Energy management believes that operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's earnings from ongoing operations and uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors. Internally, DTE Energy uses operating earnings to measure performance against budget and to report to the Board of Directors.

Reconciliation of Q1 2006 Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings Use of Operating Earnings Information - DTE Energy management believes that operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's earnings from ongoing operations and uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors.

Reconciliations In this presentation, DTE Energy provides 2006 guidance for operating earnings, non-utility operating earnings and non-utility operating earnings in areas of expected future capital investment. It is likely that certain items that impact the company's 2006 reported results will be excluded from operating results. A reconciliation to the comparable 2006 reported earnings/net income guidance is not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items such as 2007 oil hedging costs, Performance Excellence Process restructuring charges and DTE2 implementation charges. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings. 2006 Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings Throughout this presentation there are references to operating earnings, operating earnings in areas of expected future investment and illustrative profile of operating earnings for the years 2007 to 2010. These are not meant to constitute guidance, but rather are indicative of the long-term trends management currently expects from the business. It is likely that certain items that impact the company's reported results for those periods will be excluded from operating results. A reconciliation to the comparable reported earnings/net income amounts is not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items such as oil hedging costs, Performance Excellence Process restructuring charges, impairments, and DTE2 implementation charges. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings. Forward Looking Projections: 2007-2010
