DTE Energy provides midyear business update

     DETROIT — DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) will conduct a conference call for the investment community at 9:00 a.m. EDT Wednesday, July 2, to provide a midyear business update. Investors, the news media and the public may listen to a live internet broadcast of the meeting at dteenergy.com/investors. The telephone dial-in numbers are (877) 718-5104 or (719) 325-4842. There is no passcode.

     On the call, DTE Energy will provide an update on pending Michigan energy legislation. The Michigan House and Senate recently passed comprehensive energy bills that would address Michigan’s Electric Choice law and establish requirements for renewable energy and efficiency programs in the state. DTE Energy appreciates the bi-partisan leadership that supported the energy bills, and encourages the legislature and the governor to quickly reconcile and approve a final energy reform plan.

     DTE Energy will also provide an update on its non-utility businesses. Strong market conditions and continued successful development of the company’s Barnett Shale acreage could create opportunities to sell acreage in some areas by year-end 2008. Also, the company will provide an update on its previously announced Power & Industrial Projects transaction. Since announcing the transaction in June 2007, the fundamentals in its Power & Industrial Projects business have improved materially. Given the current deal economics and DTE Energy’s commitment to maximize shareholder value, the company has discontinued work on the Power & Industrial Projects monetization and plans to retain full ownership of the projects.

     As a result, DTE Energy is raising its 2008 operating earnings guidance for the Power & Industrial Projects segment to $25 million to $35 million, and is initiating a 2009 early earnings outlook for this segment of $40 million to $50 million.

     Overall, DTE Energy is maintaining its 2008 operating earnings guidance of $2.80 — $3.20 per diluted share, since higher Power & Industrial Projects earnings are expected to be offset by higher shares outstanding as the company no longer expects to buy back additional stock in 2008.

     The internet broadcast will be archived on the company’s website, and an audio replay of the call will be available until July 16. To access the replay, dial (888) 203-1112 or (719) 457-0820 and enter passcode 6735447.
