Explanatory Note

DTE Energy Company (“DTE”) and The Detroit Edison Company (“Detroit Edison”) are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Amendment No. 1 to their Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 25, 2008 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 1, 2008, to report that Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) has completed its audit services for DTE and Detroit Edison for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. As previously disclosed in DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 21, 2008 and filed with the Commission on October 24, 2008, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been engaged as DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) On September 25, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DTE dismissed Deloitte as DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal is the result of a competitive proposal process and is effective as of the date of the completion of the audit services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which services were completed on February 27, 2009.

     The reports of Deloitte on the consolidated financial statements of DTE and Detroit Edison for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from January 1, 2009 through February 27, 2009, there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s consolidated financial statements for such years.

     During DTE’s and Detroit Edison’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from January 1, 2009 through February 27, 2009, there were no “reportable events” as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     DTE and Detroit Edison have provided Deloitte with a copy of this Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) prior to its filing with the Commission and requested Deloitte to furnish them with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Deloitte’s letter dated March 5, 2009 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1).
