DTE wants to make sure that you know that this was only an issue with Consumers Energy and that they in-fact gave\sold excess gas supply to Consumers as well as sold excess electricity to the grid.

Dear Valued Customer,

We know how challenging the subzero temperatures of this past week were for each of you. Keeping our families safe, warm and comfortable is our number one priority. We don’t want you to ever have to worry about whether or not your energy provider can keep your home warm and well-lit.

We want to reassure you that our electric and gas delivery systems responded, as planned for during such weather events, to provide DTE's more than 3.3 million customers across Michigan with safe and reliable energy. In fact, we were able to provide assistance to others, exporting electricity as called upon to stabilize the regional grid and providing additional gas supplies to Consumers Energy as they contended with a reduction in deliveries from one of their facilities.

We know how important it is for our customers and Michigan’s economy to have safe, reliable and affordable electric and gas service you can count on day in and day out. That’s why we are committed to doing our part to give you peace of mind, whether in the dog days of summer or the bitter cold of winter.
