We Have Maintained and Executed a Consistent and Successful Strategy Maintain a sound regulated utility base that supports an attractive dividend yield 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 Investment Thesis Increased regulatory certainty and earnings recovery at the utilities With the completion of the rate cases earnings are expected to rebound significantly in 2005 Pass through of many costs: Fuel, purchased power, transmission, NOx emissions allowances and uncollectible expense Progress continues on Detroit Edison's Rate Restructuring proposal Ongoing focus on improving operational efficiency Continued growth in our non-utility portfolio From 1997-2005 compounded annual net income growth of 33% The synfuel business is expected to produce ~$1.6B in cash from 2005-2008 Targeting an earnings balance of 1/3 non-utility, 2/3 utility

DTE Energy Investment Thesis (cont.) Improving balance sheet strength Expect to reduce parent company debt by $600-700M from 2005-2008 Anticipate improvement in coverage ratios Will actively pursue a ratings upgrade from S&P

Synfuel Cash Redeployment Detroit Edison's Rate Restructuring Proposal Today's Discussion Will Focus on Two Areas

Synfuel Cash Represents a Substantial Opportunity 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

2005 Investment Opportunity Update Looking at 6 site transaction for auto manufacturer, similar to 2004 DaimlerChrysler transaction In negotiations on 2 projects in pulp and paper industry Constructing facility in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to supply multiple pulp and paper mills with petroleum coke as substitute for expensive natural gas Steel-Related Projects On-Site Energy Projects In discussions on several coke battery projects Expect to partner with industry players and take 30-40% equity stakes Playing an active role in developing the Millennium pipeline Pursuing economic expansion opportunities for ~50 Bcf of non-utility gas storage Plan to expand storage capacity by 8 Bcf in 2005 and 12 Bcf in 2006, at attractive returns Gas Pipelines and Storage

Our Barnett Position Could Represent a Significant Growth Opportunity DTE Energy has leased more than 50,000 net acres in the Barnett and continue to add to this position Most of DTE's acreage is located in the southern portion of the expansion area, where other players have aggressively added positions Drilling has continued to yield positive results as play has moved south Will test our acreage in 2005, utilizing 3D seismic, core sampling and test wells Anticipate drilling or participating in more than 20 horizontal wells in 2005 If current testing yields positive results, Barnett likely to play significant role in DTE's cash redeployment plan ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? * per 2004 USGS report Dallas/ Ft Worth Metropolitan Area Montague Cooke Wise Denton Jack Erath Palo Pinto Core area Expansion area Palker Tarrant Hood Somervell Hill New producing areas outside core (other producers) Zones of DTE Acreage Barnett wells ? ? ? ? ?

Synfuel Cash Redeployment Detroit Edison's Rate Restructuring Proposal

Recent Regulatory Success Conclusion of MichCon and Detroit Edison rate cases First general rate cases in more than 10 years Largest rate increases in history for either utility Full recovery of previously incurred environmental expenditures at Detroit Edison Established expense tracking mechanisms: Pension expense at Detroit Edison Uncollectibles at MichCon Continued pass-through of costs Fuel, purchase power, transmission and NOx emission allowance costs at Detroit Edison Natural gas costs at MichCon

Utility Earnings are Expected to Improve Substantially 2004 2005E 178 270 20 Detroit Edison Operating Net Income* ($ millions) $178 $270-290 2004 2005E 24 75 10 MichCon Operating Net Income* ($ millions) $24 $75-85 * Reconciliation to GAAP included in the appendix

Current Rate Restructuring Proposal Beginning in 2002, all customers were allowed to choose an alternative electricity provider Historically, Detroit Edison's rates have not been indicative of the actual cost of service: Commercial customers have effectively been subsidizing the residential customers Due to falling market power prices, structural problems with the Choice program and skewed rates, many of Detroit Edison's commercial customers migrated to alternative suppliers This customer migration had a substantial negative financial impact for Detroit Edison The interim and final rate orders in 2004, addressed many of the structural issues, but skewed rates remain a sizable problem

Detroit Edison Rate Restructuring Proposal Intention is to eliminate subsidies in Detroit Edison's rates and eliminate artificial price signals The Rate Restructuring proposal would unbundle rates and 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

Status of Rate Restructuring Proposal On June 9, the MPSC Staff filed testimony on Detroit Edison's Rate Restructuring proposal Key Points Generally supported Edison's unbundling proposal All similarly situated customers pay same distribution rates (both bundled and choice) All similarly situated customers pay/receive that same subsidy (both bundled and choice) Proposed 10% per year phase-out of rate subsidies beginning in 2007 Would required review of Edison's rates in 2007 based on actual 2006 results Rate Restructuring Regulatory Calendar Cross-Examination July 29 - August 3 Initial Briefs September 1 Reply Briefs September 12 ALJ Proposal for Decision - Target Date October 27 Exception and Replies Due November 17 Anticipated Final Order By Year-End

Summary DTE Energy has followed a strategy that has been both consistent and successful: a stable dividend with a high yield, core regulated utilities, and an integrated portfolio of non-utility investments for added growth While much progress has been made on the regulatory front, we will continue to pursue changes that are good for both customers and shareholders Synfuel net cash affords us the opportunity to both improve our balance sheet and reinvest for the future
