I'll give this to DTE. They have some huge cajones to shove this out amid power outages to hundreds of thousands. But to their credit, they are crediting customers who lost power for four days or more $35 off their next bill. #sarcasm

As DTE continues to work to restore power to all impacted by last week’s ice storm, they aren't just facing tough questions for extended outages, they're also facing questions around a requested rate hike.

Just days after a crippling ice storm left countless DTE customers in metro Detroit without power for days, the company is still hoping to get approval from the Michigan Public Service Commission to raise residential rates by 13.9% and commercial rates by 11.5%.

It's money they say is necessary to improve the grid after the state approved a $31 million rate hike in November.
