Factors that may impact forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the higher price of oil and its impact on the value of production tax credits, and the ability to utilize and/or sell interests in facilities producing such credits, or the potential requirement to refund proceeds received from synfuel partners; the uncertainties of successful exploration of gas shale resources and inability to estimate gas reserves with certainty; the effects of weather and other natural phenomena on operations and sales to customers, and purchases from suppliers; economic climate and population growth or decline in the geographic areas where we do business; environmental issues, laws and regulations, and the cost of remediation and compliance; nuclear regulations and operations associated with nuclear facilities; implementation of electric and gas Customer Choice programs; impact of electric and gas utility restructuring in Michigan, including legislative amendments; employee relations and the impact of collective bargaining agreements; unplanned outages; access to capital markets and capital market conditions and the results of other financing efforts which can be affected by credit agency ratings; the timing and extent of changes in interest rates; the level of borrowings; changes in the cost and availability of coal and other raw materials, purchased power and natural gas; effects of competition; impact of regulation by the FERC, MPSC, NRC and other applicable governmental proceedings and regulations; contributions to earnings by non-utility subsidiaries; changes in and application of federal, state and local tax laws and their interpretations, including the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, rulings, court proceedings and audits; the ability to recover costs through rate increases; the availability, cost, coverage and terms of insurance; the cost of protecting assets against, or damage due to terrorism; changes in and application of accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; changes in federal or state laws and their interpretation with respect to regulation, energy policy and other business issues; uncollectible accounts receivable; litigation and related appeals and changes in the economic and financial viability of our suppliers, customers and trading counterparties, and the continued ability of such parties to perform their obligations to the Company.

Cautionary Note - The Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this presentation such as "probable reserves" that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. You are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K and 10-Q, File No. 1-11607, available from our offices or from our website at www.dteenergy.com.

Key Earnings Drivers for Remainder of 2006 Local economic conditions Summer load for Detroit Edison Weather and conservation impacts at MichCon Performance Excellence Process Utilities Restructuring Biomass projects Possible restart of synfuel projects - due to oil prices or legislation Power & Industrial Projects Natural gas prices and production volumes Unconventional Gas Production Capturing higher storage margins Realization of economic profits at Energy Trading Fuel Transportation & Marketing

Looking Ahead at 2006 $200-250M of planned environmental investments at Detroit Edison in 2006 $15-20M of planned pipeline integrity investments at MichCon in 2006 Moving forward with additional 17 Bcf of regulated gas storage capacity Continued Utility Growth Investments Remain on track to achieve $50-100M of savings to shareholders and customers in 2006 This sets the stage for an expected savings of $200-250M of savings in 2007 before cost to achieve Performance Excellence Process Implementation

Looking Ahead at the Remainder of 2006 (cont.) Potential development of a pulverized coal facility Restructuring our Biomass business to compensate for the potential loss of tax credits Power & Industrial Projects In position to meet our goal of drilling 55+ additional Barnett wells in 2006 On target to reach year-end Barnett production goal of 4.1Bcf Continue to prove out southern Barnett acreage Unconventional Gas Production Continued development of Vector pipeline expansion and Millennium pipeline construction Evaluating the acquisition of additional storage and transportation assets Fuel Transportation & Marketing

DTE Energy's Investment Thesis 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

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

Reconciliation of 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.

Non-Utility Earnings Variance Operating Earnings* ($ millions) NOTE: Reconciliation to GAAP reported earnings included in this appendix

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

Reconciliations

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
