Overview 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, and recently made a number of regulatory filings Today there are a number of items on the MPSC agenda, including the final MichCon rate order and GCR case We continue to grow our non-utility businesses and reinvest cash from the synfuel business

Remainder of 2005 Is on Track Detroit Edison's year-over-year performance should improve for the remainder of 2005 Higher margins driven by weather normal sales volumes coupled with the reinstatement of the PSCR Full year rate relief Impact of lower choice levels MichCon's Q1 performance relates primarily to delays in the regulatory process, final relief is expected later today, this will be a key driver of 2005's forecast Non-utility results driven by non-operating adjustments that are expected to settle during 2005, normalized Q1 results at Energy Services are up quarter-to-quarter due to higher synfuel production. CoEnergy's performance is dependent on the withdrawal cycle for the remainder of 2005 and overall gas prices

Q1 Earnings Results and 2005 Guidance Q1 Cash Flow Results and 2005 Guidance 2005 Update 2005 Opportunities

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)

2005 & 2006 Synfuel Cash Flow Is Significantly Protected 2004 2005 420 99 2005 Expected Synfuel Cash $420 ($ millions) Protected Cash Flow $295-315 2004 2005 490 99 2006 Expected Synfuel Cash $490 Protected Cash Flow $270 Note: Additional details in appendix 70-75% of 2005 Expected Synfuel Cash 55% of 2006 Expected Synfuel Cash

CoEnergy Storage Optimization DTE Energy holds 55 Bcf of non-utility storage, 30 Bcf is contracted and 25 Bcf is optimized by CoEnergy by buying gas in the summer and simultaneously selling it forward for delivery Economic profit is locked in at the time of the transaction Inventory is accounted for at average cost and forward sales are marked-to-market Interim earnings can be volatile due the accounting mismatch between inventory and forward sales

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

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

Implications of Changes in Average Price of Oil 2005 NYMEX Average Price (through 4/26/05) Synfuel tax credits start to phase out when the average annual NYMEX oil price is ~$58 /bbl (for '05); total phase out occurs at an average annual price ~$71 /bbl Oil prices would need to average above ~$61 /bbl for the rest of the year to trigger a phase-out For 2006/07, current forward NYMEX average oil prices are ~$52-55 /bbl, which is below the starting point of the phase out range 12/30/2004 42.6 1/3/2005 41.6 1/4/2005 43.08 1/5/2005 42.53 1/6/2005 44.33 1/7/2005 44.1 1/10/2005 43.93 1/11/2005 44.24 1/12/2005 44.77 1/13/2005 46.17 1/14/2005 46.55 1/18/2005 46.73 1/19/2005 46.25 1/20/2005 45.91 1/21/2005 47.13 1/24/2005 47.45 1/25/2005 48.32 1/26/2005 47.74 1/27/2005 47.77 1/28/2005 46.57 1/31/2005 47.54 2/1/2005 46.99 2/2/2005 46.5 2/3/2005 46.36 2/4/2005 46.41 2/7/2005 45.73 2/8/2005 45.84 2/9/2005 45.8 2/10/2005 46.9 2/11/2005 46.91 2/14/2005 47.07 2/15/2005 46.91 2/16/2005 47.79 2/17/2005 47.46 2/18/2005 48.14 2/22/2005 49.92 2/23/2005 49.84 2/24/2005 50.16 2/25/2005 50.34 2/28/2005 50.76 3/1/2005 50.87 3/2/2005 51.81 3/3/2005 52.08 3/4/2005 52.2 3/7/2005 52.54 3/8/2005 53.1 3/9/2005 53.23 3/10/2005 52.62 3/11/2005 53.31 3/14/2005 53.84 3/15/2005 53.98 3/16/2005 55.19 3/17/2005 55.33 3/18/2005 55.87 3/21/2005 56.09 3/22/2005 55.36 3/23/2005 54 3/24/2005 54.45 3/28/2005 53.63 3/29/2005 53.58 3/30/2005 53.71 3/31/2005 54.95 4/1/2005 56.43 4/4/2005 56.46 4/5/2005 55.76 4/6/2005 55.57 4/7/2005 54.43 4/8/2005 53.98 4/11/2005 54.31 4/12/2005 53.25 4/13/2005 52.39 4/14/2005 52.72 4/15/2005 52.28 4/18/2005 51.77 4/19/2005 53.24 4/20/2005 53.8 4/21/2005 54.19 4/22/2005 54.85 4/25/2005 54.48 4/26/2005 54.2 January February March April

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
