DTE Energy Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Corporate Structure
DTE Energy owns the following businesses:
|
|
|
Detroit Edison, an electric utility engaged in the generation, purchase, distribution
and sale of electricity to approximately 2.1 million customers in southeastern Michigan; |
|
|
|
|
MichCon, a natural gas utility engaged in the purchase, storage, transportation,
distribution and sale of natural gas to approximately 1.2 million customers throughout
Michigan and the sale of storage and transportation capacity; and |
|
|
|
|
Other businesses involved in (1) natural gas pipelines, gathering and storage; (2)
unconventional gas and oil project development and production; (3) power and industrial
projects and coal transportation and marketing; and (4) energy marketing and trading
operations. |
Detroit Edison and MichCon are regulated by the MPSC. Certain activities of Detroit Edison and
MichCon, as well as various other aspects of businesses under DTE Energy are regulated by the FERC.
In addition, the Company is regulated by other federal and state regulatory agencies including the
NRC, the EPA and the MDEQ.
Reference in this report to we, us, our, Company or DTE are to DTE Energy and its
subsidiaries, collectively.
Basis of Presentation
These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles require management
to use estimates and assumptions that impact reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from
the Companys estimates.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in the Companys opinion include all
adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. All adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed in these Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial results for this interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates all majority owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which it
has controlling influence. Non-majority owned investments are accounted for using the equity method
when the Company is able to influence the operating policies of the investee. Non-majority owned
investments include investments in limited liability companies, partnerships or joint ventures.
When the Company does not influence the operating policies of an investee, the cost method is used.
These consolidated financial statements also reflect the Companys proportionate interests in
certain jointly owned utility plant. The Company eliminates all intercompany balances and
transactions.
The Company evaluates whether an entity is a VIE whenever reconsideration events occur. The Company
consolidates VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not the primary
beneficiary and an ownership interest is held, the VIE is accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. When assessing the determination of the primary beneficiary, the Company considers all
relevant facts and circumstances, including: the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct
the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the
obligation to absorb the expected losses and/or the right to receive the expected
10
returns of the VIE. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of all VIEs to determine if the
primary beneficiary status has changed.
Legal entities within the Companys Power and Industrial Projects segment enter into long-term
contractual arrangements with customers to supply energy-related products or services. The entities
are generally designed to pass-through the commodity risk associated with these contracts to the
customers, with the Company retaining operational and customer default risk. These entities
generally are VIEs. In addition, the Company has interests in certain VIEs that we share control of
all significant activities for those entities with our partners, and therefore are accounted for
under the equity method.
The Company has variable interests in VIEs through certain of its long-term purchase contracts. As
of June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position that relate to its variable interests under long-term purchase contracts are
predominately related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by the
Company for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycle under the contracts. The
Company has not provided any form of financial support associated with these long-term contracts.
There is no significant potential exposure to loss as a result of its variable interests through
these long-term purchase contracts.
In 2001, Detroit Edison financed a regulatory asset related to Fermi 2 and certain other regulatory
assets through the sale of rate reduction bonds by a wholly owned special purpose entity,
Securitization. Detroit Edison performs servicing activities including billing and collecting
surcharge revenue for Securitization. This entity is a VIE, and is consolidated as the Company is
the primary beneficiary.
DTE Energy has interests in two unconsolidated trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing
preferred securities and lending the gross proceeds to the Company. The assets of the trusts are
debt securities of DTE Energy with terms similar to those of the related preferred securities.
Payments the Company makes are used by the trusts to make cash distributions on the preferred
securities it has issued. DTE Energy has reviewed these interests and has determined they are VIEs,
but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have variable interests in the trusts
and therefore, the trusts are not consolidated by the Company.
The maximum risk exposure for consolidated VIEs is reflected on the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position. For non-consolidated VIEs, the maximum risk exposure is generally
limited to its investment and amounts which it has guaranteed.
The following table summarizes the major balance sheet items for consolidated VIEs as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010. Amounts at June 30, 2011 for consolidated VIEs that are either (1)
assets that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE or (2) liabilities for which
creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary are segregated in
the restricted amounts column. Entities, in which the Company holds a majority voting interest and
is the primary beneficiary, that meet the definition of a business and whose assets can be used for
purposes other than the settlement of the VIEs obligations have been excluded from the table
below.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Intangible Assets
The Company has certain intangible assets relating to emission allowances, renewable energy credits
and non-utility contracts. Emission allowances and renewable energy credits are charged to expense
as the allowances and credits are consumed in the operation of the business. The Companys
intangible assets related to emission allowances were $9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010. The Companys intangible assets related to renewable energy credits were $23 million and $17
million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The gross carrying amount and
accumulated amortization of contract intangible assets at June 30, 2011 were $64 million and $25
million, respectively. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of contract
intangible assets at December 31, 2010 were $63 million and $22 million, respectively. The Company
amortizes contract intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit,
ranging from 4 to 30 years.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was a negative 14 percent
as compared to 34 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Companys effective tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 17 percent as compared to 34 percent for the six
months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2011 is due primarily to the
recognition of an $88 million income tax benefit due to the enactment of the Michigan Corporate
Income Tax which is discussed below.
The Company had $3 million of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 and $5 million at December
31, 2010, that, if recognized, would favorably impact its effective tax rate. The Company has
increased its unrecognized tax benefit by $40 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a
result of a change in a tax position taken during a prior period. During the next twelve months,
it is reasonably possible that the Company will settle certain federal tax audits. As a result,
the Company believes that it is possible that there will be a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits
of up to $49 million.
Michigan Corporate Income Tax (MCIT)
On May 25, 2011, the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) was repealed and the MCIT was enacted and will
become effective January 1, 2012. The MCIT subjects corporations with business activity in
Michigan to a 6 percent tax rate on an apportioned income tax base and eliminates the modified
gross receipts tax and nearly all credits available under the MBT. The MCIT also eliminated the
future deductions allowed under MBT that enabled companies to establish a one-time deferred tax
asset upon enactment of the MBT to offset deferred tax liabilities that resulted from enactment of
the MBT.
Effective with the enactment of the MCIT in the second quarter of 2011, the net state deferred tax
liability was remeasured to reflect the impact of the MCIT tax rate on cumulative temporary
differences expected to reverse after the effective date. The net impact of this remeasurement was
a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities of $41 million attributable to our regulated
utilities that was offset against the regulatory asset established upon the enactment of the MBT.
Due to the elimination of the future tax deductions allowed under the MBT, the one-time MBT
deferred tax asset that was established upon the enactment of the MBT has been remeasured to zero.
The net impact of this remeasurement is a reduction of net deferred tax assets of $307 million,
with $395 million of this decrease in deferred tax assets attributable to our regulated utilities,
partially offset by an $88 million decrease in deferred tax
liabilities attributable to our non-utility
entities. The $395 million decrease in deferred tax assets at our regulated utilities was offset
against the regulatory liabilities established upon enactment of the MBT. The $88 million is
primarily due to a lower apportionment factor from inclusion of non-utility entities in DTE
Energys unitary Michigan tax return. The $88 million was recognized as a reduction to income tax
expense in the second quarter of 2011.
Consistent
with the original establishment of these deferred tax liabilities
(assets), no recognition
of these non-cash transactions have been reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
13
Offsetting Amounts Related to Certain Contracts
The Company offsets the fair value of derivative instruments with cash collateral received or paid
for those derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting
agreement, which reduces both the Companys total assets and total liabilities. As of June 30,
2011, the total cash collateral posted, net of cash collateral received, was $68 million.
Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are shown net of collateral of $6 million and $34
million, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the Company recorded cash collateral received of $4
million and cash collateral paid of $44 million not related to derivative positions.
These amounts are included in accounts receivable and accounts payable and are recorded net by
counterparty.
NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a
principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined
based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets
or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally
unobservable inputs. The Company makes certain assumptions it believes that market participants
would use in pricing assets or liabilities, including assumptions about risk, and the risks
inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. Credit risk of the Company and its counterparties
is incorporated in the valuation of assets and liabilities through the use of credit reserves, the
impact of which was immaterial at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The Company believes it uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market-based
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
A fair value hierarchy has been established, that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level
1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to
measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. All assets and
liabilities are required to be classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that
is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a
particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and
may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and its placement within the fair value
hierarchy. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined as
follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Consists of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Consists of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through
corroboration with observable market data. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Consists of unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities whose fair value
is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are
generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the
measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information
and subject to cost-benefit constraints. |

Transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 represent existing assets or liabilities that were either
previously categorized as a higher level and for which the inputs to the model became unobservable
or assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the lowest
significant input became observable during the period. Transfers in and transfers out of Level 3
are reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period. For the six months ended June
30, 2011, $25 million of net assets reflecting inputs related to certain power transactions
identified as observable due to available broker quotes were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $62 million and $73 million, respectively, of net
assets reflecting inputs related to certain power transactions identified as unobservable due to
lack of available broker quotes were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $138 million and $83 million, respectively, of
net assets reflecting inputs related to certain power transactions identified as unobservable due
to lack of available broker quotes were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3. No significant
transfers between Levels 1 and 2 occurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts and Other Investments
The nuclear decommissioning trusts and other investments hold debt and equity securities directly
and indirectly through commingled funds and institutional mutual funds. Exchange-traded debt and
equity securities held directly are valued using quoted market prices in actively traded markets.
The commingled funds and institutional mutual funds which hold exchange-traded equity or debt
securities are valued based on the underlying securities, using quoted prices in actively traded
markets. Non-exchange-traded fixed income securities are valued based upon quotations available
from brokers or pricing services. A primary price source is identified by asset type, class or
issue for each security. The trustees monitor prices supplied by pricing services and may use a
supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the trustees
determine that another price source is considered to be preferable. DTE Energy has obtained an
understanding of how these prices are derived, including the nature and observability of the inputs
used in deriving such prices. Additionally, DTE Energy selectively corroborates the fair values of
securities by comparison of market-based price sources.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of physical and financial derivative contracts,
including futures, forwards, options and swaps that are both exchange-traded and over-the-counter
traded contracts. Various inputs are used to value derivatives depending on the type of contract
and availability of market data. Exchange-traded derivative contracts are valued using quoted
prices in active markets. DTE Energy considers the following criteria in determining whether a
market is considered active: frequency in which pricing information is updated, variability in
pricing between sources or over time and the availability of public information. Other derivative
contracts are valued based upon a variety of inputs including commodity market prices, broker
quotes, interest rates, credit ratings, default rates, market-based seasonality and basis
differential factors. DTE Energy monitors the prices that are supplied by brokers and pricing
services and may use a supplemental price source or change the primary price source of an index if
prices become unavailable or another price source is determined to be more representative of fair
value. DTE Energy has obtained an understanding of how these prices are derived. Additionally, DTE
Energy selectively corroborates the fair value of its transactions by comparison of market-based
price sources. Mathematical
18
valuation models are used for derivatives for which external market data is not readily
observable, such as contracts which extend beyond the actively traded reporting period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using quoted market prices when available and a
discounted cash flow analysis based upon estimated current borrowing rates when quoted market
prices are not available. The table below shows the fair value and the carrying value for long-term
debt securities. Certain other financial instruments, such as notes payable, customer deposits and
notes receivable are not shown as carrying value approximates fair value. See Note 4 for further
fair value information on financial and derivative instruments.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds
Detroit Edison has a legal obligation to decommission its nuclear power plants following the
expiration of their operating licenses. This obligation is reflected as an asset retirement
obligation on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. See Note 5.
The NRC has jurisdiction over the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and requires
decommissioning funding based upon a formula. The MPSC and FERC regulate the recovery of costs of
decommissioning nuclear power plants and both require the use of external trust funds to finance
the decommissioning of Fermi 2. Rates approved by the MPSC provide for the recovery of
decommissioning costs of Fermi 2 and the disposal of low-level radioactive waste. Detroit Edison is
continuing to fund FERC jurisdictional amounts for decommissioning even though explicit provisions
are not included in FERC rates. The Company believes the MPSC and FERC collections will be adequate
to fund the estimated cost of decommissioning using the NRC formula. The decommissioning assets,
anticipated earnings thereon and future revenues from decommissioning collections will be used to
decommission Fermi 2. The Company expects the liabilities to be reduced to zero at the conclusion
of the decommissioning activities. If amounts remain in the trust funds for Fermi 2 following the
completion of the decommissioning activities, those amounts will be disbursed based on rulings by
the MPSC and FERC. See Note 6.
The decommissioning of Fermi 1 is funded by Detroit Edison. Contributions to the Fermi 1 trust are
discretionary.

The debt securities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 had an average maturity of approximately
8 and 6 years, respectively. Securities held in the nuclear decommissioning trust funds are
classified as available-for-sale. As Detroit Edison does not have the ability to hold impaired
investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery of market value,
all unrealized losses are considered to be other than temporary impairments.
Unrealized losses incurred by the Fermi 2 trust are recognized as a Regulatory asset. Detroit
Edison recognized $32 million and $26 million of unrealized losses as Regulatory assets at June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Since the decommissioning of Fermi 1 is funded by Detroit
Edison rather than through a regulatory recovery mechanism, there is no corresponding regulatory
asset treatment. Therefore, unrealized losses incurred by the Fermi 1 trust are recognized in
earnings immediately. There were no unrealized losses recognized for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 for Fermi 1 trust assets.

As of June 30, 2011, these securities were comprised primarily of money-market funds and equity
securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no amounts of unrealized losses
on available for sale securities were reclassified out of other comprehensive income into losses
for the period. Gains (losses) related to trading securities held at June 30, 2011 and June 30,
2010 were $4 million and $(2) million, respectively.

NOTE 4 FINANCIAL AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company recognizes all derivatives at their fair value as Derivative Assets or Liabilities on
the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position unless they qualify for certain scope exceptions,
including the normal purchases and normal sales exception. Further, derivatives that qualify and
are designated for hedge accounting are classified as either hedges of a forecasted transaction or
the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability
(cash flow hedge), or as hedges of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an
unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge). For cash flow hedges, the portion of the
derivative gain or loss that is effective in offsetting the change in the value of the underlying
exposure is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income and later reclassified into earnings
when the underlying transaction occurs. For fair value hedges, changes in fair values for the
derivative are recognized in earnings each period. Gains and losses from the ineffective portion of
any hedge are recognized in earnings immediately. For derivatives that do not qualify or are not
designated for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings each period.
The Companys primary market risk exposure is associated with commodity prices, credit, interest
rates and foreign currency exchange. The Company has risk management policies to monitor and manage
market risks. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage some of the exposure. The Company
uses derivative instruments for trading purposes in its Energy Trading segment and the coal
marketing activities of its Power and Industrial Projects segment. Contracts classified as
derivative instruments include power, gas, oil and certain coal forwards, futures, options and
swaps, and foreign currency exchange contracts. Items not classified as derivatives include natural
gas inventory, unconventional gas reserves, power transmission, pipeline transportation and certain
storage assets.
Electric Utility Detroit Edison generates, purchases, distributes and sells electricity. Detroit
Edison uses forward energy and capacity contracts to manage changes in the price of electricity and
fuel. Substantially all of these contracts meet the normal purchases and sales exemption and are
therefore accounted for under the accrual method. Other derivative contracts are recoverable
through the PSCR mechanism when settled. This results in the deferral of unrealized gains and
losses as Regulatory assets or liabilities until realized.
Gas Utility MichCon purchases, stores, transports, distributes and sells natural gas and sells
storage and transportation capacity. MichCon has fixed-priced contracts for portions of its
expected gas supply requirements through March 2014. Substantially all of these contracts meet the
normal purchases and sales exemption and are therefore accounted for under the accrual method.
MichCon may also sell forward transportation and storage capacity contracts. Forward transportation
and storage contracts are not derivatives and are therefore accounted for under the accrual method.
Gas Storage and Pipelines This segment is primarily engaged in services related to the
transportation, gathering and storage of natural gas. Fixed-priced contracts are used in the
marketing and management of transportation, gathering and storage services. Generally these
contracts are not derivatives and are therefore accounted for under the accrual method.
Unconventional Gas Production The Unconventional Gas Production business is engaged in
unconventional natural gas and oil project development and production. The Company may use
derivative contracts to manage changes in the price of natural gas and crude oil.
Power and Industrial Projects Business units within this segment manage and operate onsite
energy and pulverized coal projects, coke batteries, landfill gas recovery and power generation
assets. These businesses utilize fixed-priced contracts in the marketing and management of their
assets. These contracts are generally not derivatives and are therefore accounted for under the
accrual method. The segment also engages in coal marketing which includes the marketing and trading
of physical coal and coal financial instruments, and forward contracts for the purchase and sale of
emission allowances. Certain of these physical and financial coal contracts and contracts for the
purchase and sale of emission allowances are derivatives and are accounted for by recording changes
in fair value to earnings.
Energy Trading Commodity Price Risk Energy Trading markets and trades electricity and natural
gas physical products and energy financial instruments, and provides
energy and asset management services
utilizing energy commodity derivative instruments. Forwards, futures, options and swap agreements
are used to manage exposure to the risk of market price and volume fluctuations in its operations.
These derivatives are accounted for by recording changes in fair value to earnings unless hedge
accounting criteria are met.
21
Energy Trading Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Energy Trading has foreign currency exchange
forward contracts to economically hedge fixed Canadian dollar commitments existing under power
purchase and sale contracts and gas transportation contracts. The Company enters into these
contracts to mitigate price volatility with respect to fluctuations of the Canadian dollar relative
to the U.S. dollar. These derivatives are accounted for by recording changes in fair value to
earnings unless hedge accounting criteria are met.
Corporate and Other Interest Rate Risk The Company uses interest rate swaps, treasury locks
and other derivatives to hedge the risk associated with interest rate market volatility. In 2004
and 2000, the Company entered into a series of interest rate derivatives to limit its sensitivity
to market interest rate risk associated with the issuance of long-term debt. Such instruments were
designated as cash flow hedges. The Company subsequently issued long-term debt and terminated these
hedges at a cost that is included in other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in other
comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense through 2033. In 2011, the Company
estimates reclassifying less than $1 million of losses to earnings.
Credit Risk The utility and non-utility businesses are exposed to credit risk if customers or
counterparties do not comply with their contractual obligations. The Company maintains credit
policies that significantly minimize overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of
potential customers and counterparties financial condition, credit rating, collateral
requirements or other credit enhancements such as letters of credit or guarantees. The Company
generally uses standardized agreements that allow the netting of positive and negative transactions
associated with a single counterparty. The Company maintains a provision for credit losses based on
factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, historical trends, and other information.
Based on the Companys credit policies and its June 30, 2011 provision for credit losses, the
Companys exposure to counterparty nonperformance is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial statements.
Derivative Activities
The Company manages its mark-to-market (MTM) risk on a portfolio basis based upon the delivery
period of its contracts and the individual components of the risks within each contract.
Accordingly, it records and manages the energy purchase and sale obligations under its contracts in
separate components based on the commodity (e.g., electricity or gas), the product (e.g.,
electricity for delivery during peak or off-peak hours), the delivery location (e.g., by region),
the risk profile (e.g., forward or option), and the delivery period (e.g., by month and year). The
following describe the four categories of activities represented by their operating characteristics
and key risks:
|
|
|
Asset Optimization Represents derivative activity associated with assets owned and
contracted by DTE Energy, including forward sales of gas production and trades associated
with power transmission, gas transportation and storage capacity. Changes in the value of
derivatives in this category economically offset changes in the value of underlying
non-derivative positions, which do not qualify for fair value accounting. The difference in
accounting treatment of derivatives in this category and the underlying non-derivative
positions can result in significant earnings volatility. |
|
|
|
|
Marketing and Origination Represents derivative activity transacted by originating
substantially hedged positions with wholesale energy marketers, producers, end users,
utilities, retail aggregators and alternative energy suppliers. |
|
|
|
|
Fundamentals Based Trading Represents derivative activity transacted with the intent
of taking a view, capturing market price changes, or putting capital at risk. This activity
is speculative in nature as opposed to hedging an existing exposure. |
|
|
|
|
Other Includes derivative activity at Detroit Edison related to FTRs and forward
contracts related to emissions. Changes in the value of derivative contracts at Detroit
Edison are recorded as Derivative Assets or Liabilities, with an offset to Regulatory
Assets or Liabilities as the settlement value of these contracts will be included in the
PSCR mechanism when realized. |

Various non-utility subsidiaries of the Company have entered into contracts which contain ratings
triggers and are guaranteed by DTE Energy. These contracts contain provisions which allow the
counterparties to request that the Company post cash or letters of credit as collateral in the
event that DTE Energys credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. Certain of these
provisions (known as hard triggers) state specific circumstances under which the Company can be
asked to post collateral upon the occurrence of a credit downgrade, while other provisions (known
as soft triggers) are not as specific. For contracts with soft triggers, it is difficult to
estimate the amount of collateral which may be requested by counterparties and/or which the Company
may ultimately be required to post. The amount of such collateral which could be requested
fluctuates based on commodity prices (primarily gas, power and coal) and the provisions and
maturities of the underlying transactions. As of June 30, 2011, the value of the transactions for
which the Company would have been exposed to collateral requests had DTE Energys credit rating
been below investment grade on such date under both hard trigger and soft trigger provisions was
approximately $236 million. In circumstances where an entity is downgraded below investment grade
and collateral requests are made as a result, the requesting parties often agree to accept less
than the full amount of their exposure to the downgraded entity.

In 2001, Detroit Edison began the final decommissioning of Fermi 1, with the goal of removing the
remaining radioactive material and terminating the Fermi 1 license. In the first quarter of 2011,
based on management decisions revising the timing and estimate of cash flows, Detroit Edison
accrued an additional $19 million with respect to the decommissioning of Fermi 1. Subject to NRC
notification, management intends to suspend decommissioning activities and place the facility in
safe storage status. The expense amount has been recorded in Asset (gains) and losses, reserves and
impairments, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the second quarter of 2011, based
on updated studies revising the timing and estimate of cash flows, a reduction of approximately $20
million was made to the Detroit Edison asset retirement obligation for asbestos removal with
approximately $5.7 million of the decrease associated with Fermi 1 recorded in Asset (gains) and
losses, reserves and impairments, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 6 REGULATORY MATTERS
2010 Electric Rate Case Filing
Detroit Edison filed a rate case on October 29, 2010 based on a projected 12-month period ending
March 31, 2012. The filing with the MPSC requested a $443 million increase in base rates that is
required to recover higher costs associated with environmental compliance, operation and
maintenance of the Companys electric distribution system and generation plants, inflation, the
capital costs of plant additions, the reduction in territory sales, the impact from the expiration
of certain wholesale for resale contracts and the increased migration of customers to the electric
Customer Choice program. Detroit Edison also proposed certain adjustments which could reduce the
net impact on the required increase in rates by approximately $190 million. These adjustments
relate to electric Customer Choice migration, pension and other postretirement benefits expenses
and the Nuclear Decommissioning surcharge. On April 28, 2011, Detroit Edison self-implemented a
rate increase of $107 million. This increase, which is collected subject to refund, will remain in
place until a final order is issued.
Detroit Edison Restoration Expense Tracker Mechanism (RETM) and Line Clearance Tracker (LCT)
Reconciliation
In March 2010, Detroit Edison filed an application with the MPSC for approval of the reconciliation
of its 2009 RETM and LCT. The Companys 2009 restoration and line clearance expenses were less than
the amount provided in rates. Accordingly, Detroit Edison proposed a refund of approximately $16
million, including interest. On May 10, 2011, the MPSC issued an order approving the proposed
refund and Detroit Edison began applying credits to customer bills in July 2011.
Detroit Edison Choice Implementation Surcharge (CIS)
In June 2011, Detroit Edison filed an application with the MPSC for approval of its CIS
reconciliation and proposed refund of $2.4 million.
25
2009 Detroit Edison Depreciation Filing
In compliance with an MPSC order, Detroit Edison filed a depreciation case in November 2009. On
June 16, 2011, the MPSC issued an order reducing Detroit Edisons composite depreciation rates from
3.33% to 3.06%, effective for accounting purposes, the day after the issuance of the MPSC order in
the 2010 rate case expected in October 2011.
Renewable Energy Plan
In June 2011, Detroit Edison filed an amended Renewable Energy Plan with the MPSC requesting
authority to continue to recover approximately $100 million of surcharge revenues. The proposed
revenues are necessary in order to continue to properly implement Detroit Edisons 20-year
renewable energy plan, to deliver cleaner, renewable electric generation to its customers, to
further diversify Detroit Edisons and the State of Michigans sources of electric supply, and to
address the state and national goals of increasing energy independence.
Detroit Edison Revenue Decoupling Mechanism (RDM)
In May 2011, Detroit Edison filed an application with the MPSC for approval of its RDM
reconciliation for the period February 2010 through January 2011 requesting authority to refund
approximately $55.8 million, plus interest.
Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR) Proceedings
The PSCR process is designed to allow Detroit Edison to recover all of its power supply costs if
incurred under reasonable and prudent policies and practices. Detroit Edisons power supply costs
include fuel costs, purchased and net interchange power costs, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide
emission allowances costs, urea costs, transmission costs and MISO costs. The MPSC reviews these
costs, policies and practices for prudence in annual plan and reconciliation filings.
The following table summarizes Detroit Edisons PSCR reconciliation filing currently pending with
the MPSC:

2010 PSCR Year The 2010 PSCR reconciliation includes $15.6 million net over-recovery for the
2009 PSCR year. In addition to the net under-recovery of $52.6 million, the 2010 PSCR
reconciliation includes an under-recovery of $7.1 million for the reconciliation of the 2007-2008
Pension Equalization Mechanism and an over-refund of $3.8 million for the 2011 refund of the
self-implemented rate increase related to the 2009 electric rate case filing.
2011 Plan Year In September 2010, Detroit Edison filed its 2011 PSCR plan case seeking approval
of a levelized PSCR factor of 2.98 mills/kWh below the amount included in base rates for all PSCR
customers. The filing supports a total power supply expense forecast of $1.2 billion. The plan also
includes approximately $36 million for the recovery of its projected 2010 PSCR under-recovery.
Gas Cost Recovery (GCR) Proceedings
The GCR process is designed to allow MichCon to recover all of its gas supply costs if incurred
under reasonable and prudent policies and practices. The MPSC reviews these costs, policies and
practices for prudence in annual plan and reconciliation filings.

Options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock as of June 30, 2010 were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making these options
anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 SHORT-TERM CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND BORROWINGS
DTE Energy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Detroit Edison and MichCon have entered into
unsecured revolving credit facilities with similar terms with a syndicate of 23 banks that may be
used for general corporate borrowings, but are intended to provide liquidity support for each of
the companies commercial paper programs. No one bank provides more than 8.25% of the commitment in
any facility. Borrowings under the facilities are available at prevailing short-term interest
rates. Additionally, DTE Energy has other facilities to support letter of credit issuance.
The above agreements require the Company to maintain a total funded debt to capitalization ratio of
no more than 0.65 to 1. In the agreements, total funded debt means all indebtedness of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including capital lease obligations, hedge agreements
and guarantees of third parties debt, but
28
excluding contingent obligations, nonrecourse and junior subordinated debt and certain
equity-linked securities and, except for calculations at the end of the second quarter, certain
MichCon short-term debt. Capitalization means the sum of (a) total funded debt plus (b)
consolidated net worth, which is equal to consolidated total stockholders equity of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries (excluding pension effects under certain FASB statements), as
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. At June 30, 2011, the total funded debt to total capitalization ratios for DTE Energy,
Detroit Edison and MichCon were 0.49 to 1, 0.53 to 1 and 0.46 to 1, respectively, and were in
compliance with this financial covenant. The availability under these combined facilities at June
30, 2011 is shown in the following table:

The Company has other outstanding letters of credit which are not included in the above described
facilities totaling approximately $35 million which are used for various corporate purposes.
In conjunction with maintaining certain exchange traded risk management positions, the Company may
be required to post cash collateral with its clearing agent. The Company has a demand financing
agreement for up to $100 million with its clearing agent. The agreement, as amended, also allows
for up to $50 million of additional margin financing provided that the Company posts a letter of
credit for the incremental amount. At June 30, 2011, a $15 million letter of credit was in place,
raising the capacity under this facility to $115 million. The $15 million letter of credit is
included in the table above. The amount outstanding under this agreement was $23 million and $39
million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
Electric Utility
Air Detroit Edison is subject to the EPA ozone transport and acid rain regulations that limit
power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Since 2005, the EPA and the State of
Michigan have issued additional emission reduction regulations relating to ozone, fine particulate,
regional haze and mercury air pollution. The new rules will lead to additional controls on
fossil-fueled power plants to reduce nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions. To
comply with these requirements, Detroit Edison has spent approximately $1.5 billion through 2010.
The Company estimates Detroit Edison will make capital expenditures
of over $205 million in 2011
and up to $2.0 billion of additional capital expenditures through 2020 based on current
regulations. Further, additional rulemakings are expected over the next few years which could
require additional controls for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and hazardous air pollutants. The
EPAs proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Coal and Oil-Fired
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units rule (covering mercury and other air pollutants) was issued
on March 16, 2011 for review and comment. The EPA will be accepting input on the proposal and may
modify it prior to finalization, scheduled for November 2011.
Also, on July 6, 2011, the EPA finalized
the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR),
requiring further reductions of sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides. DTE Energy is reviewing
potential impacts of the proposed and recently finalized rules, but is not able to quantify the financial impact of these
and other expected rulemakings at this time.
29
In July 2009, DTE Energy received a Notice of Violation/Finding of Violation (NOV/FOV) from the EPA
alleging, among other things, that five Detroit Edison power plants violated New Source Performance
standards, Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements, and operating permit requirements
under the Clean Air Act. An additional NOV/FOV was received in June 2010 related to a recent
project and outage at Unit 2 of the Monroe Power Plant.
On August 5, 2010, the United States Department of Justice, at the request of the EPA, brought a
civil suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against DTE Energy and
Detroit Edison, related to the June 2010 NOV/FOV and the outage work performed at Unit 2 of the
Monroe Power Plant, but not relating to the July 2009 NOV/FOV. Among other relief, the EPA
requested the court to require Detroit Edison to install and operate the best available control
technology at Unit 2 of the Monroe Power Plant. Further, the EPA requested the court to issue a
preliminary injunction to require Detroit Edison to (i) begin the process of obtaining the
necessary permits for the Monroe Unit 2 modification and (ii) offset the pollution from Monroe Unit
2 through emissions reductions from Detroit Edisons fleet of coal-fired power plants until the new
control equipment is operating. In January 2011, the EPAs motion for preliminary injunction was
denied and the liability phase of the civil suit has been scheduled for trial in September 2011.
DTE Energy and Detroit Edison believe that the plants identified by the EPA, including Unit 2 of
the Monroe Power Plant, have complied with all applicable federal environmental regulations.
Depending upon the outcome of discussions with the EPA regarding the NOV/FOV and the result of the
civil action, Detroit Edison could also be required to install additional pollution control
equipment at some or all of the power plants in question, implement early retirement of facilities
where control equipment is not economical, engage in supplemental environmental programs, and/or
pay fines. DTE Energy and Detroit Edison cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this
matter, or the timing of its resolution.
Water In response to an EPA regulation, Detroit Edison is required to examine alternatives for
reducing the environmental impacts of the cooling water intake structures at several of its
facilities. Based on the results of completed studies and expected future studies, Detroit Edison
may be required to install additional control technologies to reduce the impacts of the water
intakes. Initially, it was estimated that Detroit Edison could incur
up to approximately $80
million in additional capital expenditures over the four to six years subsequent to 2008 to comply
with these requirements. However, a January 2007 circuit court decision remanded back to the EPA
several provisions of the federal regulation that has resulted in a delay in compliance dates. The
decision also raised the possibility that Detroit Edison may have to install cooling towers at some
facilities at a cost substantially greater than was initially estimated for other mitigative
technologies. In 2008, the Supreme Court agreed to review the remanded cost-benefit analysis
provision of the rule and in April 2009 upheld the EPAs use of this provision in determining best
technology available for reducing environmental impacts. On March 28, 2011, the EPA issued a
proposed rule. A final rule is scheduled to be issued in mid-2012. The EPA has also issued an
information collection request to begin a review of steam electric effluent guidelines. It is not
possible at this time to quantify the financial impacts of these developing requirements.
Contaminated Sites Prior to the construction of major interstate natural gas pipelines, gas for
heating and other uses was manufactured locally from processes involving coal, coke or oil. The
facilities, which produced gas, have been designated as manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. Detroit
Edison conducted remedial investigations at contaminated sites, including three former MGP sites.
The investigations have revealed contamination related to the by-products of gas manufacturing at
each site. In addition to the MGP sites, the Company is also in the process of cleaning up other
contaminated sites, including the area surrounding an ash landfill, electrical distribution
substations, and underground and aboveground storage tank locations. The findings of these
investigations indicated that the estimated cost to remediate these sites is expected to be
incurred over the next several years. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $9
million accrued for remediation. Any significant change in assumptions, such as remediation techniques, nature and extent of contamination and regulatory
requirements, could impact the estimate of remedial action costs for the sites and affect the
Companys financial position and cash flows.
Landfill Detroit Edison owns and operates a permitted engineered ash storage facility at the
Monroe Power Plant to dispose of fly ash from the coal fired power plant. Detroit Edison performed
an engineering analysis in 2009 and identified the need for embankment side slope repairs and
reconstruction.
The EPA has published proposed rules to regulate coal ash under the authority of the Resources
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The proposed rule published on June 21, 2010 contains two
primary regulatory options to regulate coal ash residue. The EPA is currently considering either
designating coal ash as a Hazardous Waste as
30
defined by RCRA or regulating coal ash as non-hazardous waste under RCRA. Agencies and legislatures
have urged the EPA to regulate coal ash as a non-hazardous waste. If the EPA designates coal ash as
a hazardous waste, the agency could apply some, or all, of the disposal and reuse standards that
have been applied to other existing hazardous wastes to disposal and reuse of coal ash. Some of the
regulatory actions currently being contemplated could have a significant impact on our operations
and financial position and the rates we charge our customers. It is not possible to quantify the
financial impact of those proposed rules at this time.
Gas Utility
Contaminated Sites Gas Utility owns, or previously owned, 15 former MGP sites. Investigations
have revealed contamination related to the by-products of gas manufacturing at each site. In
addition to the MGP sites, the Company is also in the process of cleaning up other contaminated
sites. Cleanup activities associated with these sites will be conducted over the next several
years.
The MPSC has established a cost deferral and rate recovery mechanism for investigation and
remediation costs incurred at former MGP sites. Accordingly, Gas Utility recognizes a liability and
corresponding regulatory asset for estimated investigation and remediation costs at former MGP
sites. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $37 and $36 million,
respectively, accrued for remediation.
Any significant change in assumptions, such as remediation techniques, nature and extent of
contamination and regulatory requirements, could impact the estimate of remedial action costs for
the sites and affect the Companys financial position and cash flows. The Company anticipates the
cost amortization methodology approved by the MPSC for MichCon, which allows MichCon to amortize
the MGP costs over a 10-year period beginning with the year subsequent to the year the MGP costs
were incurred, and the cost deferral and rate recovery mechanism for Citizens approved by the City
of Adrian, will prevent environmental costs from having a material adverse impact on the Companys
results of operations.
Non-Utility
The Companys non-utility affiliates are subject to a number of environmental laws and regulations
dealing with the protection of the environment from various pollutants.
The Michigan coke battery facility received and responded to information requests from the EPA that
resulted in the issuance of a Notice of Violation in June of 2007 alleging potential maximum
achievable control technologies and new source review violations. The EPA is in the process of
reviewing the Companys position of demonstrated compliance and has not initiated escalated
enforcement. At this time, the Company cannot predict the financial impact of this issue.
Furthermore, the Michigan coke battery facility is the subject of an investigation by the MDEQ
concerning visible emissions readings that resulted from the Company self reporting to MDEQ
questionable activities by an employee of a contractor hired by the Company to perform the visible
emissions readings. At this time, the Company cannot predict the financial impact of this
investigation.
The Company is also in the process of settling historical air and water violations at its coke
battery facility located in Pennsylvania. At this time, the Company cannot predict the financial
impact of this settlement. The Company received two notices of violation from the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection in 2010 alleging violations of the permit for the
Pennsylvania coke battery facility in connection with coal pile storm water runoff. The Company has
implemented best management practices to address this issue and is currently seeking a permit from
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to upgrade its wastewater treatment
technology to a biological treatment facility. The Company expects to spend less than $1 million on
the existing waste water treatment system to comply with existing water discharge requirements. The
Company may spend an additional $13 million over the next few years to meet future regulatory
requirements and gain other operational improvements savings.
The Company believes that its non-utility affiliates are substantially in compliance with all
environmental requirements, other than as noted above.
31
Other
In 2011, the EPA finalized a new set of regulations regarding the identification of non-hazardous
secondary materials that are considered solid waste, industrial boiler and process heater maximum
achievable control technologies (MACT) for major and area sources, and commercial/industrial solid
waste incinerator new source performance standard and emission guidelines. This new set of
regulations may impact our existing operations and may require us, in certain instances, to install
new air pollution control devices. The new MACT regulations for industrial boilers provide three
years for compliance with the major and area source standards. The Company is currently assessing
the impact on current operations to determine the financial impact, if any, to comply with the new
standards.
In February 2008, DTE Energy was named as one of approximately 24 defendant oil, power and coal
companies in a lawsuit filed in a United States District Court. DTE Energy was served with process
in March 2008. The plaintiffs, the Native Village of Kivalina and City of Kivalina, which are home
to approximately 400 people in Alaska, claim that the defendants business activities have
contributed to global warming and, as a result, higher temperatures are damaging the local economy
and leaving the island more vulnerable to storm activity in the fall and winter. As a result, the
plaintiffs are seeking damages of up to $400 million for relocation costs associated with moving
the village to a safer location, as well as unspecified attorneys fees and expenses. On October
15, 2009, the U.S. District Court granted defendants motions dismissing all of plaintiffs federal
claims in the case on two independent grounds: (1) the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to
hear the claims because of the political question doctrine; and (2) plaintiffs lack standing to
bring their claims. The court also dismissed plaintiffs state law claims because the court lacked
supplemental jurisdiction over them after it dismissed the federal claims; the dismissal of the
state law claims was without prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit.
Nuclear Operations
Property Insurance
Detroit Edison maintains property insurance policies specifically for the Fermi 2 plant. These
policies cover such items as replacement power and property damage. The Nuclear Electric Insurance
Limited (NEIL) is the primary supplier of the insurance policies.
Detroit Edison maintains a policy for extra expenses, including replacement power costs
necessitated by Fermi 2s unavailability due to an insured event. This policy has a 12-week waiting
period and provides an aggregate $490 million of coverage over a three-year period.
Detroit Edison has $500 million in primary coverage and $2.25 billion of excess coverage for
stabilization, decontamination, debris removal, repair and/or replacement of property and
decommissioning. The combined coverage limit for total property damage is $2.75 billion.
In 2007, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (TRIA) was extended through December
31, 2014. A major change in the extension is the inclusion of domestic acts of terrorism in the
definition of covered or certified acts. For multiple terrorism losses caused by acts of
terrorism not covered under the TRIA occurring within one year after the first loss from terrorism,
the NEIL policies would make available to all insured entities up to $3.2 billion, plus any amounts
recovered from reinsurance, government indemnity, or other sources to cover losses.
Under the NEIL policies, Detroit Edison could be liable for maximum assessments of up to
approximately $29 million per event if the loss associated with any one event at any nuclear plant
in the United States should exceed the accumulated funds available to NEIL.
Public Liability Insurance
As of January 1, 2011, as required by federal law, Detroit Edison maintains $375 million of public
liability insurance for a nuclear incident. For liabilities arising from a terrorist act outside
the scope of TRIA, the policy is subject to one industry aggregate limit of $300 million. Further,
under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 2005, deferred premium charges up to $117.5 million
could be levied against each licensed nuclear facility, but not more than $17.5 million per year
per facility. Thus, deferred premium charges could be levied against all owners of licensed nuclear
facilities in the event of a nuclear incident at any of these facilities.
32
Nuclear Fuel Disposal Costs
In accordance with the Federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, Detroit Edison has a contract with
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the future storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel from
Fermi 2. Detroit Edison is obligated to pay the DOE a fee of 1 mill per kWh of Fermi 2 electricity
generated and sold. The fee is accounted for as a component of nuclear fuel expense. Delays have
occurred in the DOEs program for the acceptance and disposal of spent nuclear fuel at a permanent
repository and the proposed fiscal year 2011 federal budget recommends termination of funding for
completion of the governments long-term storage facility. Detroit Edison is a party in the
litigation against the DOE for both past and future costs associated with the DOEs failure to
accept spent nuclear fuel under the timetable set forth in the Federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act of
1982. Detroit Edison currently employs a spent nuclear fuel storage strategy utilizing a fuel pool.
In 2011, the Company expects to begin loading spent nuclear fuel into an on-site dry cask storage
facility which is expected to provide sufficient storage capability for the life of the plant as
defined by the original operating license. Issues relating to long-term waste disposal policy and
to the disposition of funds contributed by Detroit Edison ratepayers to the federal waste fund
await future governmental action.
Guarantees
In certain limited circumstances, the Company enters into contractual guarantees. The Company may
guarantee another entitys obligation in the event it fails to perform. The Company may provide
guarantees in certain indemnification agreements. Finally, the Company may provide indirect
guarantees for the indebtedness of others. The Companys guarantees are not individually material
with maximum potential payments totaling $10 million at June 30, 2011.
The Company is periodically required to obtain performance surety bonds in support of obligations
to various governmental entities and other companies in connection with its operations. As of June
30, 2011, the Company had approximately $14 million of performance bonds outstanding. In the event
that such bonds are called for nonperformance, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the
issuer of the performance bond. The Company is released from the performance bonds as the
contractual performance is completed and does not believe that a material amount of any currently
outstanding performance bonds will be called.
Labor Contracts
There are several bargaining units for the Companys approximately 5,000 represented employees. In
the 2011 second quarter, a new three-year agreement was ratified covering approximately 400
represented employees. The majority of the remaining represented employees are under contracts that
expire August 2012 and June and October 2013.
Purchase Commitments
As of June 30, 2011, the Company was party to numerous long-term purchase commitments relating to a
variety of goods and services required for the Companys business. These agreements primarily
consist of fuel supply commitments and energy trading contracts. The Company estimates that these
commitments will be approximately $5 billion from 2011 through 2051.
The Company also estimates that 2011 capital expenditures will be approximately $1.7 billion. The
Company has made certain commitments in connection with expected capital expenditures.
Bankruptcies
The Company purchases and sells electricity, gas, coal, coke and other energy products from and to
numerous companies operating in the steel, automotive, energy, retail, financial and other
industries. Certain of its customers have filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company regularly reviews contingent matters relating to these customers
and its purchase and sale contracts and records provisions for amounts considered at risk of
probable loss. The Company believes its accrued amounts are adequate for probable loss. The final
resolution of these matters may have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
33
Other Contingencies
The Company is involved in certain other legal, regulatory, administrative and environmental
proceedings before various courts, arbitration panels and governmental agencies concerning claims
arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings include certain contract disputes,
additional environmental reviews and investigations, audits, inquiries from various regulators, and
pending judicial matters. The Company cannot predict the final disposition of such proceedings. The
Company regularly reviews legal matters and records provisions for claims that it can estimate and
are considered probable of loss. The resolution of these pending proceedings is not expected to
have a material effect on the Companys operations or financial statements in the periods they are
resolved.
See Notes 4 and 6 for a discussion of contingencies related to derivatives and regulatory matters.

DTE ENERGY COMPANY
Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
DTE Energy is a diversified energy company and is the parent company of Detroit Edison and MichCon,
regulated electric and gas utilities engaged primarily in the business of providing electricity and
natural gas sales, distribution and storage services throughout southeastern Michigan. We operate
four energy-related non-utility segments with operations throughout the United States.
Net income attributable to DTE Energy in the second quarter of 2011 was $202 million, or $1.19 per
diluted share, compared to net income attributable to DTE Energy of $86 million, or $0.51 per
diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. Net income attributable to DTE Energy in the six
months ended June 30, 2011 was $378 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, compared to net income
attributable to DTE Energy of $315 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, in the comparable period of
2010. The increases in net income are primarily due to an income tax benefit of $88 million in the
Corporate & Other segment related to the enactment of the MCIT in the second quarter of 2011. See
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Please see detailed explanations of segment performance in the following Results of Operations
section.
The items discussed below influenced our current financial performance and/or may affect future
results.
Reference in this report to we, us, our, Company or DTE are to DTE Energy and its
subsidiaries, collectively.
UTILITY OPERATIONS
Our
Electric Utility segment consists principally of Detroit Edison, which is engaged in the generation,
purchase, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 2.1 million customers in
southeastern Michigan. In July 2011, Detroit Edison notified the NRC that it intends to apply for
renewal of the operating license for the Fermi 2 nuclear power plant. The current license expires
in 2025 and NRC approval of the application would permit the plant to operate an additional 20
years. The application is expected to be filed with the NRC in 2014.
Our Gas Utility segment consists of MichCon and Citizens. MichCon is engaged in the purchase,
storage, transportation, distribution and sale of natural gas to approximately 1.2 million
customers throughout Michigan and the sale of storage and transportation capacity. Citizens
distributes natural gas in Adrian, Michigan to approximately 17,000 customers.
Detroit Edison has experienced decreased electric sales in 2011 driven by lower interconnection and
industrial sales, partially offset by higher residential and commercial sales. Interconnection
sales are lower due primarily to lower power plant generation, while industrial sales are lower
due to decreased demand from customers in the automotive and steel industries and their related
suppliers and other ancillary businesses. The residential sales increase is primarily a result of
weather related usage. MichCons sales were higher due to colder winter weather, partially offset
by a decrease in the number of customers, reduced natural gas usage by customers due to economic
conditions and an increased emphasis on conservation of energy usage.
Both utilities have exposure to the collectability of receivables in our market area. The Company
continues to work with our customers through a variety of proactive programs to assist them. We
also partner with federal, state and local officials to increase the share of low-income funding
allocated to our customers. Changes in the level of funding provided to our low-income customers
will affect the level of uncollectible expense. To mitigate volatility of changes in the
uncollectible expense, both utilities have uncollectible tracking mechanisms that enable them to
recover or refund 80 percent of the difference between the actual uncollectible expense each year
and the level established in their last rate cases. The uncollectible tracking mechanisms require
annual reconciliation proceedings before the MPSC.

We are continuing our efforts to identify opportunities to improve cash flow at our utilities
through working capital initiatives and maintaining flexibility in the timing and extent of our
long-term capital projects. We are actively managing our cash, capital expenditures, cost structure
and liquidity to maintain our financial strength. See the Capital Resources and Liquidity section
in this Managements Discussion and Analysis for further discussion of our liquidity outlook.
NON-UTILITY OPERATIONS
We have significant investments in non-utility businesses. We employ disciplined investment
criteria when assessing opportunities that leverage our assets, skills and expertise. Specifically,
we invest in targeted energy markets with attractive competitive dynamics where meaningful scale is
in alignment with our risk profile. We expect growth opportunities in the Gas Storage and Pipelines
and Power and Industrial Projects segments in the future. We believe that expansion of these
businesses will also result in our ability to further diversify geographically.
Gas Storage and Pipelines owns partnership interests in two natural gas storage fields and two
interstate pipelines serving the Midwest, Ontario and Northeast markets. Much of the growth in
demand for natural gas is expected to occur in the Eastern Canada and the Northeast U.S. regions.
We believe that the Vector and Millennium pipelines are well positioned to provide access routes
and low-cost expansion options to these markets. In addition, we believe that Millennium Pipeline
is well positioned for growth related to production from the Marcellus shale, especially with
respect to Marcellus production in Northern Pennsylvania and along the southern tier of New York.
Our Unconventional Gas Production business is engaged in natural gas and oil exploration,
development and production primarily within the Barnett shale in north Texas. Our acreage covers an
area that produces high BTU gas which provides a significant contribution to revenues from the
value of natural gas liquids extracted from the gas stream. During this period of low natural gas
prices, these natural gas liquids, with prices correlated to crude oil prices, have provided a
significant increase to our realized wellhead price. Our drilling efforts have and will continue to
target liquids rich gas and oil producing locations. We continue to develop our holdings and to
seek opportunities for additional monetization of select properties when conditions are
appropriate.
Power and Industrial Projects is comprised primarily of projects that deliver energy, products and
services to industrial, commercial and institutional customers; provide coal transportation and
marketing; and sell electricity generated from biomass-fired energy projects. This business segment
provides services using project assets usually located on or near the customers premises in the
steel, automotive, pulp and paper, airport and other industries. Renewable energy, environmental
and economic trends are creating growth opportunities. We believe that the increasing number of
states with renewable portfolio standards provides the opportunity to market the expertise of the
Power and Industrial Projects segment in on-site energy management, waste-wood power generation,
reduced emission fuel, landfill gas and other related services.
Energy Trading focuses on physical and financial power and gas marketing and trading, structured
transactions, enhancement of returns from DTE Energys asset portfolio, and optimization of
contracted natural gas pipeline transportation and storage and power transmission and generating
capacity positions. Energy Trading also provides natural gas, power and ancillary services to
various utilities and producers which may include the management of associated storage and transportation
contracts on the customers behalf.
39
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
Our utility businesses require significant capital investments each year in order to maintain and
improve the reliability of their asset bases, including power generation plants, distribution
systems, storage fields and other facilities and fleets. In addition, significant capital
investments are required to comply with increasingly stringent environmental requirements. For both
Detroit Edison and MichCon, we plan to seek regulatory approval in general rate case filings to
include these capital expenditures within our regulatory rate base consistent with prior general
rate case filing treatment.
Detroit Edison is required to implement a 20-year renewable energy plan to address the provisions
of Michigan Public Act 295 of 2008, with the goals of delivering cleaner renewable electric
generation to its customers, further diversifying Detroit Edisons and the State of Michigans
sources of electric supply and addressing the state and national goals of increasing energy
independence. Detroit Edison will seek separate regulatory approval and recovery of these renewable
capital expenditures within our regulatory rate base through our renewable energy plan filings.
MichCon was required in its 2010 rate order to file two infrastructure improvement cases. MichCon
filed a 10-year gas main renewal case for approximately $17 million per year and also filed a
10-year meter move out case for approximately $22 million per year. MichCon is seeking recovery of
the costs resulting from these two programs with the MPSC.
In April 2010, the Company signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy for a grant of
approximately $84 million in matching funds on total anticipated spending of approximately $168
million related to the accelerated deployment of smart grid technology in Michigan through 2012.
The smart grid technology includes the establishment of an advanced metering infrastructure and
other technologies that address improved electric distribution service.
Non-utility investments are expected primarily in Gas Storage and Pipeline assets and renewable
opportunities in the Power and Industrial Projects businesses.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are subject to extensive environmental regulation. Additional costs may result as the effects of
various substances on the environment are studied and governmental regulations are developed and
implemented. Actual costs to comply could vary substantially. We expect to continue recovering
environmental costs related to utility operations through rates charged to our customers.
Air Detroit Edison is subject to the EPA ozone transport and acid rain regulations that limit
power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Since 2005, the EPA and the State of
Michigan have issued additional emission reduction regulations relating to ozone, fine particulate,
regional haze and mercury air pollution. The new rules will lead to additional controls on
fossil-fueled power plants to reduce nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions. To
comply with these requirements, Detroit Edison has spent approximately $1.5 billion through 2010.
The Company estimates Detroit Edison will make capital expenditures
of over $205 million in 2011
and up to $2.0 billion of additional capital expenditures through 2020 based on current
regulations. Further, additional rulemakings are expected over the next few years which could
require additional controls for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and hazardous air pollutants. The
EPAs proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Coal and Oil-Fired
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units rule (covering mercury and other air pollutants) was issued
on March 16, 2011 for review and comment. The EPA will be accepting input on the proposal and may
modify it prior to finalization, scheduled for November 2011.
Also, on July 6, 2011, the EPA finalized
the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR),
requiring further reductions of sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides. DTE Energy is reviewing
potential impacts of the proposed and recently finalized rules, but is not able to quantify the financial impact of these
and other expected rulemakings at this time.
In July 2009, DTE Energy received a Notice of Violation/Finding of Violation (NOV/FOV) from the EPA
alleging, among other things, that five Detroit Edison power plants violated New Source Performance
standards, Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements, and operating permit requirements
under the Clean Air Act. An additional NOV/FOV was received in June 2010 related to a recent
project and outage at Unit 2 of the Monroe Power Plant.
40
On August 5, 2010, the United States Department of Justice, at the request of the EPA, brought a
civil suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against DTE Energy and
Detroit Edison, related to the June 2010 NOV/FOV and the outage work performed at Unit 2 of the
Monroe Power Plant, but not relating to the July 2009 NOV/FOV. Among other relief, the EPA
requested the court to require Detroit Edison to install and operate the best available control
technology at Unit 2 of the Monroe Power Plant. Further, the EPA requested the court to issue a
preliminary injunction to require Detroit Edison to (i) begin the process of obtaining the
necessary permits for the Monroe Unit 2 modification and (ii) offset the pollution from Monroe Unit
2 through emissions reductions from Detroit Edisons fleet of coal-fired power plants until the new
control equipment is operating. In January 2011, the EPAs motion for preliminary injunction was
denied and the liability phase of the civil suit has been scheduled for trial in September 2011.
DTE Energy and Detroit Edison believe that the plants identified by the EPA, including Unit 2 of
the Monroe Power Plant, have complied with all applicable federal environmental regulations.
Depending upon the outcome of discussions with the EPA regarding the NOV/FOV and the result of the
civil action, the Company could also be required to install additional pollution control equipment
at some or all of the power plants in question, implement early retirement of facilities where
control equipment is not economical, engage in supplemental environmental programs, and/or pay
fines. The Company cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter, or the timing of
its resolution.
Water In response to an EPA regulation, Detroit Edison is required to examine alternatives for
reducing the environmental impacts of the cooling water intake structures at several of its
facilities. Based on the results of completed studies and expected future studies, Detroit Edison
may be required to install additional control technologies to reduce the impacts of the water
intakes. Initially, it was estimated that Detroit Edison could incur
up to approximately $80
million in additional capital expenditures over the four to six years subsequent to 2008 to comply
with these requirements. However, a January 2007 circuit court decision remanded back to the EPA
several provisions of the federal regulation that has resulted in a delay in compliance dates. The
decision also raised the possibility that Detroit Edison may have to install cooling towers at some
facilities at a cost substantially greater than was initially estimated for other mitigative
technologies. In 2008, the Supreme Court agreed to review the remanded cost-benefit analysis
provision of the rule and in April 2009 upheld the EPAs use of this provision in determining best
technology available for reducing environmental impacts. On March 28, 2011, the EPA issued a
proposed rule. A final rule is scheduled to be issued in mid-2012. The EPA has also issued an
information collection request to begin a review of steam electric effluent guidelines. It is not
possible at this time to quantify the financial impacts of these developing requirements.
Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) and Other Sites Prior to the construction of major interstate
natural gas pipelines, gas for heating and other uses was manufactured locally from processes
involving coal, coke or oil. The facilities, which produced gas, have been designated as MGP sites.
Gas Utility owns, or previously owned, 15 such former MGP sites. Detroit Edison owns, or previously
owned, three former MGP sites. In addition to the MGP sites, we are also in the process of cleaning
up other sites where contamination is present as a result of historical and ongoing utility
operations. These other sites include an engineered ash storage facility, electrical distribution
substations, gas pipelines, and underground and aboveground storage tank locations. Cleanup
activities associated with these sites will be conducted over the next several years.
Any significant change in assumptions, such as remediation techniques, nature and extent of
contamination and regulatory requirements, could impact the estimate of remedial action costs for
the sites and affect the Companys financial position and cash flows. The Company anticipates the
cost amortization methodology approved by the MPSC for MichCon, which allows MichCon to amortize
the MGP costs over a 10-year period beginning with the year subsequent to the year the MGP costs
were incurred, and the cost deferral and rate recovery mechanism for Citizens approved by the City
of Adrian, will prevent environmental costs from having a material adverse impact on the Companys
results of operations.
Landfill Detroit Edison owns and operates a permitted engineered ash storage facility at the
Monroe Power Plant to dispose of fly ash from the coal fired power plant. Detroit Edison performed
an engineering analysis in 2009 and identified the need for embankment side slope repairs and
reconstruction.
The EPA has published proposed rules to regulate coal ash under the authority of the Resources
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The proposed rule published on June 21, 2010 contains two
primary regulatory options to regulate coal ash residue. The EPA is currently considering either,
to designate coal ash as a Hazardous Waste as defined by RCRA or to regulate coal ash as
non-hazardous waste under RCRA. However, agencies and legislatures
41
have urged the EPA to regulate coal ash as a non-hazardous waste. If the EPA were to designate coal
ash as a hazardous waste, the agency could apply some, or all, of the disposal and reuse standards
that have been applied to other existing hazardous wastes. Some of the regulatory actions currently
being contemplated could have a significant impact on our operations and financial position and the
rates we charge our customers. It is not possible to quantify the financial impact of those
expected rulemakings at this time.
Non-Utility
The Companys non-utility affiliates are subject to a number of environmental laws and regulations
dealing with the protection of the environment from various pollutants. The Michigan coke battery
facility received and responded to information requests from the EPA that resulted in the issuance
of a Notice of Violation in June of 2007 alleging potential maximum achievable control technologies
and new source review violations. The EPA is in the process of reviewing the Companys position of
demonstrated compliance and has not initiated escalated enforcement. At this time, the Company
cannot predict the financial impact of this issue. Furthermore, the Michigan coke battery facility
is the subject of an investigation by the MDEQ concerning visible emissions readings that resulted
from the Company self reporting to MDEQ questionable activities by an employee of a contractor
hired by the Company to perform the visible emissions readings. At this time, the Company cannot
predict the financial impact of this investigation. The Company is also in the process of settling
historical air and water violations at its coke battery facility located in Pennsylvania. At this
time, the Company cannot predict the financial impact of this settlement. The Company is currently
seeking a permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to upgrade its
wastewater treatment technology to a biological treatment for the coke battery facility located in
Pennsylvania. This upgrade is expected to be completed over the next two years to meet future
regulatory requirements.
The Companys believes that its non-utility affiliates are substantially in compliance with all
environmental requirements, other than as noted above.
Other
In 2011, the EPA finalized a new set of regulations regarding the identification of non-hazardous
secondary materials that are considered solid waste, industrial boiler and process heater maximum
achievable control technologies (MACT) for major and area sources, and commercial/industrial solid
waste incinerator new source performance standard and emission guidelines. This new set of
regulations may impact our existing operations and may require us, in certain instances, to install
new air pollution control devices. The new MACT regulations for industrial boilers provide three
years for compliance with the major and area source standards. The Company is currently assessing
the impact on current operations to determine the financial impact, if any, to comply with the new
standards.
Global Climate Change
The EPA has promulgated the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring rule that regulates greenhouse gases as
pollutants under the EPAs new source permitting and major source operating permit programs, and
that requires a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determination for new and modified major
sources of greenhouse gas (GHG). In addition, the EPA will be issuing proposed GHG performance
standards for new and modified electric generating units in late 2011. Comprehensive climate change
and energy legislation was passed out of the U.S. House in 2009, but the Senate was unable to agree
on passage of a climate bill. In the current U.S. Congress, efforts are focused on delaying the
EPAs regulation of GHGs with no expectation of enacting a comprehensive national climate program.
Pending or future regulatory or legislative actions could have a material impact on our operations
and financial position and the rates we charge our customers. Impacts include expenditures for
environmental equipment beyond what is currently planned, financing costs related to additional
capital expenditures, the purchase of emission offsets from market sources and the retirement of
facilities where control equipment is not economical. We would seek to recover these incremental
costs through increased rates charged to our utility customers. Increased costs for energy produced
from traditional sources could also increase the economic viability of energy produced from
renewable and/or nuclear sources and energy efficiency initiatives and the development of
market-based trading of carbon offsets providing business opportunities for our utility and
non-utility segments. It is not possible to quantify the financial impacts on DTE Energy or its
customers at this time.
42
OUTLOOK
The next few years will be a period of rapid change for DTE Energy and for the energy industry. We
believe that our strong utility base, combined with our integrated non-utility operations, position
us well for long-term growth.
Looking forward, we will focus on several areas that we expect will improve future
performance:
|
|
|
improving Electric and Gas Utility customer satisfaction; |
|
|
|
|
continuing to maintain regulatory stability and investment recovery for our utilities; |
|
|
|
|
managing the growth of our utility asset base with consideration of customer
affordability; |
|
|
|
|
optimizing our cost structure across all business segments; |
|
|
|
|
managing cash, capital and liquidity to maintain or improve our financial strength; and |
|
|
|
|
investing in businesses that integrate our assets and leverage our skills and
expertise. |
We will continue to pursue opportunities to grow our businesses in a disciplined manner by securing
opportunities that meet our strategic, financial and risk criteria.

Operation and maintenance expense increased $4 million and $25 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase for the 2011 second quarter is primarily due to
higher energy optimization and renewable energy expenses of $5 million, partially offset by lower
restoration and line clearance expenses of $2 million. The increase for the 2011 six-month period is
attributable to increased power plant generation expenses of $15 million, higher energy
optimization and renewable energy expenses of $9 million and higher employee benefit related
expenses of $8 million, partially offset by reduced uncollectible expenses of $5 million.
Asset (gains) and losses, net increased $5 million and decreased $15 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The changes in the six month periods are primarily
attributable to an accrual of $19 million in the first quarter of 2011 resulting from managements
revisions of the timing and estimate of cash flows for the decommissioning of Fermi 1, partially
offset by second quarter 2011 revisions in the timing and estimate of cash flows for the Fermi 1
asbestos removal obligation. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Outlook We continue to move forward in our efforts to improve the operating performance and cash
flow of Detroit Edison. The 2010 MPSC order provided for an uncollectible expense tracking
mechanism which financially assists in mitigating the impacts of economic conditions in our service
territory and a revenue decoupling mechanism that addresses changes in average customer usage due
to general economic conditions, weather and conservation. These and other tracking mechanisms and
surcharges are expected to result in lower earnings volatility. We expect that our planned
significant environmental and renewable energy investments will result in earnings growth.
Looking forward, additional factors may impact earnings such as the outcome of the 2010
electric rate case and other regulatory proceedings, investment returns and changes in
discount rate assumptions in benefit plans and health care costs, lower levels of
wholesale sales due to contract expirations, and uncertainty of legislative or regulatory
actions regarding climate change. We expect to continue our efforts to improve
productivity and decrease our costs while improving customer satisfaction with
consideration of customer rate affordability.

Operation and maintenance expense increased $34 million and $26 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increases for the 2011 periods are due primarily to the
2010 deferral of $32 million of previously expensed CTA restructuring expenses. The second quarter
of 2011 was also impacted by higher energy optimization expenses of $2 million. The 2011 six month
period also included higher energy optimization expenses of $5 million and increased maintenance
and service repair expenses of $4 million, partially offset by lower uncollectible expenses of $15
million.
Outlook We continue to move forward in our efforts to improve the operating performance and cash
flow of Gas Utility. Unfavorable economic trends have resulted in a decrease in the number of
customers in our service territory, increased customer conservation and continued high levels of
theft and uncollectible accounts receivable. The MPSC has provided for an uncollectible expense
tracking mechanism which assists in mitigating the impacts of economic conditions in our service
territory and a revenue decoupling mechanism that addresses changes in average customer usage due
to general economic conditions and conservation. These and other tracking mechanisms and surcharges
are expected to result in lower earnings volatility in the future. Looking forward, additional
factors may impact earnings such as infrastructure improvement capital programs, the outcome of future regulatory proceedings, investment returns and changes in discount
rate assumptions in benefit plans and health care costs. We expect to continue our efforts to
improve productivity, minimize lost and stolen gas, and decrease our costs while improving customer
satisfaction with consideration of customer rate affordability.

Net income attributable to Gas Storage and Pipelines increased $4 million and $5 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The 2011 second quarter increase was
primarily driven by earnings from two operating subsidiaries that were transferred from an
affiliate effective January 1, 2011 and increased earnings from equity investments. The year to
date 2011 increase was primarily driven by earnings from the two transferred subsidiaries and a
settlement for customer gas treating services performed in prior years.
Outlook Our Gas Storage and Pipelines business expects to continue its steady growth plan and is
evaluating new pipeline and storage investment opportunities. Millennium Pipeline has secured
customers for its Phase 1 & 2 expansions which are scheduled to be in-service in the fourth quarter
of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2013, respectively. Millenniums total capacity with the Phase 1
& 2 expansion will increase from 525,000 dth/d to over 800,000 dth/d. In addition, DTE has
executed an agreement with Southwestern Energy Services Company to support its Bluestone lateral and
gathering system. Bluestone is a 37 mile pipeline in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania and Broome
County, New York designed to initially flow over 250,000 dth/d to both Millennium Pipeline and Tennessee
Pipeline and is scheduled to be in-service in the second quarter of 2012. DTE plans to spend up to
$280 million over the next five years on the Bluestone lateral and gathering system.

Unconventional Gas Production results, for the six month period, were slightly favorable primarily
due to a $4 million impairment of expired or expiring leasehold positions in 2010. Both revenues
and expenses increased as a result of new wells on line, increased liquids prices and higher crude
oil production.
Outlook In the longer-term, we plan to continue to develop our holdings in the western portion
of the Barnett shale and to seek opportunities for additional monetization of select properties
when conditions are appropriate. Our strategy for 2011 is to maintain our focus on optimizing the
productivity of our wells, which adds value to our asset base. Given the continued outlook of low
natural gas prices, drilling efforts will continue to target liquids rich gas and oil production.
During 2011, we expect total capital investment of $25 million to drill approximately 20 new wells
and continue to acquire select acreage and achieve production of approximately 5.5 Bcfe of natural
gas, compared with 5 Bcfe in 2010.

Operating revenues decreased $4 million and $21 million in the three and six months ended June 30,
2011, respectively. The decrease in the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to $57 million of
lower coal transportation and marketing services primarily due to the expiration of our long-term
rail transportation contract, offset by a $17 million increase in coke demand and pricing and a $36
million increase primarily related to reduced emission fuels projects. The decrease in the
six-month period is primarily due to $100 million of coal transportation and marketing services
primarily due to the expiration of our long-term rail transportation contract, offset by a $40
million increase in coke demand and pricing and a $39 million increase primarily related to reduced
emission fuels projects.
Operation and maintenance expense increased $11 million and $3 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to
a $23 million increase in coke production and higher coal costs and a $33 million increase
primarily related to reduced emission fuels projects, partially offset by $45 million of lower coal
transportation and marketing services primarily due to the expiration of our long-term rail
transportation contract. The increase in the six-month period is primarily due to $52 million
increase in coke production and higher coal costs and a $37 million increase primarily related to
reduced emission fuels projects, partially offset by $86 million of lower coal transportation and
marketing services primarily due to the expiration of our long-term rail transportation contract.
Asset (Gains) Losses were lower by $5 million and higher by $2 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the second quarter and year to date is primarily
due to a $9 million asset impairment, offset by gains of $4 million related to reduced emission
fuels projects.
Production tax credits were lower by $7 million and $13 million in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011, respectively, due primarily to expiration of steel industry fuels credits as of
December 31, 2010.
Outlook We expect sustained production levels of metallurgical coke and pulverized coal supplied
to steel industry customers for 2011. During 2010 we experienced higher margins from coke sales due
to premium pricing and lower coal costs. In 2011 we have returned to normal margin levels. The tax
credits associated with our steel industry fuels facilities expired at December 31, 2010 which
generated approximately $29 million in 2010. We supply on-site energy services to the domestic
automotive manufacturers who have also experienced stabilized demand for automobiles. In March
2011, the Company acquired a cogeneration facility and will provide electricity and steam to
customers in the chemical industry.
In late 2009, we began operating five reduced emission fuel facilities located at Detroit Edison
owned coal-fired power plants. We have begun construction on two additional facilities at another
Detroit Edison owned power plant and we are in advanced negotiations to construct facilities at
third party owned power plants. The facilities reduce Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) and Mercury (Hg)
emissions and qualify for production tax credits when the fuel is sold to an unrelated party
through 2019. Qualifying facilities are eligible to generate tax credits for ten years. We continue
to optimize these facilities by seeking investors for facilities operating at Detroit Edison sites
and intend to relocate or construct other facilities at alternative sites which may provide
increased production and emission reduction opportunities in 2011 and future years. In January
2011, the Company sold a membership interest in one of these reduced emission fuel facilities that
is located at a Detroit Edison site.
Environmental and economic trends are creating growth opportunities for renewable power. The
increasing number of states with renewable portfolio standards provides investment opportunities in
waste-wood power generation. In addition to the three facilities in operation, we expect to convert
and place into service additional facilities in 2011 and 2013. We will continue to look for
additional investment opportunities for waste-wood renewable power generation and other energy
projects at favorable prices.
Effective January 1, 2011, our existing long-term rail transportation contract, at rates
significantly below the current market, expired and we anticipate a decrease in
transportation-related revenue of approximately $130 million as a result. The decrease in revenue
will be mostly offset by lower variable costs incurred to provide the transportation.
We will continue to work with suppliers and the railroads to promote secure and competitive access
to coal to meet the energy requirements of our customers. Power and Industrial Projects will
continue to leverage its extensive energy-related operating experience and project management
capability to develop additional energy projects to serve energy intensive industrial customers.

Gross margin increased $60 million in the second quarter of 2011 and decreased $3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011. The overall increase in gross margin for the second quarter was the
result of timing-related gains and improved economic performance,
principally in our power and gas
trading strategies. We experienced timing-related earnings volatility based on
market movement related to derivative contracts.
The second quarter increase of $60 million represents a $40 million increase in unrealized margins
and a $20 million increase in realized margins. The $40 million increase in unrealized margins is
due to $45 million of favorable results, primarily in our power transmission and power full
requirements strategies. This was offset by $5 million of unfavorable results, primarily in our gas
trading strategy. The $20 million increase in realized margins is due to $38 million of favorable
results, primarily in our power and gas trading strategies, offset by $18 million of unfavorable
results, primarily in our power transmission and power origination strategies.
The $3 million decrease for the six month period represents a $19 million decrease in unrealized
margins and $16 million increase in realized margins. The $19 million decrease in unrealized
margins is due to $43 million of unfavorable results, primarily in our power trading, power
transmission and gas storage strategies, offset by $24 million of favorable results, primarily in
our power full requirements and gas structured strategies. The $16 million increase in realized
margins is due to $35 million of favorable results in our power and gas trading strategies, offset
by $19 million of unfavorable results, primarily in our power origination and gas structured
strategies.
Outlook In the near term, we expect market conditions to remain challenging and the
profitability of this segment may be impacted by the volatility or lack thereof in commodity prices
in the markets we participate in and the uncertainty of impacts associated with financial reform,
regulatory changes and changes in operating rules of regional transmission organizations.
The Energy Trading portfolio includes financial instruments, physical commodity contracts and gas
inventory, as well as contracted natural gas pipeline transportation and storage, and power
transmission and generation capacity positions. Energy Trading also provides natural gas, power and
ancillary services to various utilities and producers which may include the management of associated storage and
transportation contracts on the customers behalf. Significant portions of the Energy Trading
portfolio are economically hedged. Most financial instruments and physical power and gas contracts
are deemed derivatives, whereas natural gas inventory, power transmission, pipeline transportation
and certain storage assets are not derivatives. As a result, we will experience earnings volatility
as derivatives are marked-to-market without revaluing the underlying non-derivative contracts and
assets. Our strategy is to economically manage the price risk of these underlying non-derivative
contracts and assets with futures, forwards, swaps and options. This results in gains and losses
that are recognized in different interim and annual accounting periods.
50

CORPORATE & OTHER
Corporate & Other includes various holding company activities and holds certain non-utility debt
and energy-related investments.
The net income for the second quarter of 2011 and six-month period ended June 30, 2011 increased by
$96 million and $87 million, respectively. The increase in both periods is due primarily due to an
income tax benefit of $88 million related to the enactment of the MCIT in the second quarter of
2011. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Cash Requirements
We use cash to maintain and expand our electric and gas utilities and to grow our non-utility
businesses, retire and pay interest on long-term debt and pay dividends. We believe that we will
have sufficient internal and external capital resources to fund anticipated capital and operating
requirements. In 2011, we expect that cash from operations will be comparable to 2010 levels. We
anticipate base level utility capital investments, environmental, renewable and energy optimization
expenditures and expenditures for non-utility businesses in 2011 of approximately $1.7 billion. We
plan to seek regulatory approval to include these capital expenditures within our regulatory rate
base consistent with prior treatment. Capital spending for growth of existing or new non-utility
businesses will depend on the existence of opportunities that meet our strict risk-return and value
creation criteria.

Cash from Operating Activities
A majority of our operating cash flow is provided by our electric and gas utilities, which are
significantly influenced by factors such as weather, electric Customer Choice, regulatory
deferrals, regulatory outcomes, economic conditions and operating costs.
Cash from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was consistent with the comparable 2010
period. See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash from Investing Activities
Cash inflows associated with investing activities are primarily generated from the sale of assets,
while cash outflows are primarily generated from plant and equipment expenditures. In any given
year, we will look to realize cash from
52
under-performing or non-strategic assets or matured fully valued assets. Capital spending within
the utility business is primarily to maintain our generation and distribution infrastructure, for
gas pipeline replacements and to comply with environmental regulations and renewable energy
requirements. Capital spending within our non-utility businesses is for ongoing maintenance and
expansion. The balance of non-utility spending is for growth, which we manage very carefully. We
look to make investments that meet strict criteria in terms of strategy, management skills, risks
and returns. All new investments are analyzed for their rates of return and cash payback on a risk
adjusted basis. We have been disciplined in how we deploy capital and will not make investments
unless they meet our criteria. For new business lines, we initially invest based on research and
analysis. We start with a limited investment, we evaluate results and either expand or exit the
business based on those results. In any given year, the amount of growth capital will be determined
by the underlying cash flows of the Company with a clear understanding of any potential impact on
our credit ratings.
Net cash used for investing activities increased in the six months ended June 30, 2011 by $275
million primarily due to increased utility capital expenditures and increased non-utility
investments, partially offset by the prior year impact of the consolidation of VIEs. See Note 1 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash from Financing Activities
We rely on both short-term borrowing and long-term financing as a source of funding for our capital
requirements not satisfied by our operations.
Our strategy is to have a targeted debt portfolio blend of fixed and variable interest rates and
maturity. We continually evaluate our leverage target, which is currently 50 percent to 52 percent,
to ensure it is consistent with our objective to have a strong investment grade debt rating.
Net cash used for financing activities decreased $191 million during the six months ended June 30,
2011 as increased issuances and redemptions of long-term debt were offset by decreased payments for
net short-term borrowings.
Outlook
We expect cash flow from operations to increase over the long-term primarily as a result of growth
from our utilities and the non-utility businesses. We expect growth in our utilities to be driven
primarily by new and existing state and federal regulations that will result in additional
environmental and renewable energy investments which will increase the base from which rates are
determined. Our non-utility growth is expected from additional investments in energy projects as
economic conditions improve.
We may be impacted by the delayed collection of underrecoveries of our various recovery and
tracking mechanisms as a result of timing of MPSC orders. Energy prices are likely to be a source
of volatility with regard to working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We are
continuing our efforts to identify opportunities to improve cash flow through working capital
initiatives and maintaining flexibility in the timing and extent of our long-term capital projects.
Detroit Edison filed a rate case on October 29, 2010 based on a projected twelve-month period
ending March 31, 2012. The filing with the MPSC requested a $443 million increase in base rates.
Detroit Edison also proposed certain adjustments which could reduce the net impact on the required
increase in rates by approximately $190 million. Detroit Edison self-implemented $107 million of
its requested annual increase on April 28, 2011. This increase will remain in place until a final
order is issued by the MPSC, which is expected by October 2011. If the final rate case order does
not support the self-implemented rate increase, Detroit Edison must refund the difference with
interest.
DTE Energy redeemed $600 million of unsecured debt that matured in June 2011. The redemption was
funded through a combination of internally generated funds and the issuance of $300 million of
floating rate debt maturing in June 2013. Detroit Edison issued $250 million of mortgage bonds in
May 2011 and has agreed to issue an additional $225 million of mortgage bonds in September 2011.
We have approximately $320 million in long-term debt maturing in the next 12 months. Substantially
all of the remaining debt maturities relate to Securitization, Detroit Edison, and MichCon. The
repayment of the principal
53
amount of the Securitization debt is funded through a surcharge payable by Detroit Edisons
electric customers. The repayment of the other Detroit Edison and MichCon debt is expected to be
refinanced with long-term debt.
DTE Energy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Detroit Edison and MichCon have unsecured revolving
credit facilities with similar terms with a syndicate of 23 banks that may be used for general
corporate borrowings, but are intended to provide liquidity support for each of the companies
commercial paper programs. No one bank provides more than 8.25% of the commitment in any facility.
Borrowings under the facilities are available at prevailing short-term interest rates.
Additionally, DTE Energy has other facilities to support letter of credit issuance. DTE Energy had
approximately $1.7 billion of available liquidity at June 30, 2011.
The Company contributed $200 million to its pension plans in January 2011. The Company contributed
$81 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in January 2011. At the discretion of
management, the Company may make up to an additional $90 million contribution to its other
postretirement benefit plans by the end of 2011.
The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provided for a
special allowance for bonus depreciation in 2011 and 2012. Bonus depreciation is accelerated
depreciation on certain types of business equipment that allows a tax deduction of either 50% or
100% of the cost of qualifying property in the year the asset is placed in service. DTE Energy
expects to generate approximately $150 million to $250 million of cash in 2011-2012 from bonus
depreciation deductions, a significant portion of which is expected to result from Detroit Edison
property, plant and equipment expenditures during the qualifying period. The cash benefit is an
acceleration of tax deductions that the Company would otherwise have received over 20 years.
We believe we have sufficient operating flexibility, cash resources and funding sources to maintain
adequate amounts of liquidity and to meet our future operating cash and capital expenditure needs.
However, virtually all of our businesses are capital intensive, or require access to capital, and
the inability to access adequate capital could adversely impact earnings and cash flows.
See Notes 6, 8, 9, and 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FAIR VALUE
Derivatives are generally recorded at fair value and shown as Derivative Assets or Liabilities.
Contracts we typically classify as derivative instruments include power, gas, oil and certain coal
forwards, futures, options and swaps, and foreign currency exchange contracts. Items we do not
generally account for as derivatives include natural gas inventory, power transmission, pipeline
transportation and certain storage assets. See Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
As a result of adherence to generally accepted accounting principles, the tables below do not
include the expected earnings impact of non-derivative gas storage, transportation and power
contracts. Consequently, gains and losses from these positions may not match with the related
physical and financial hedging instruments in some reporting periods, resulting in volatility in
DTE Energys reported period-by-period earnings; however, the financial impact of the timing
differences will reverse at the time of physical delivery and/or settlement.
The Company manages its mark-to-market (MTM) risk on a portfolio basis based upon the delivery
period of its contracts and the individual components of the risks within each contract.
Accordingly, it records and manages the energy purchase and sale obligations under its contracts in
separate components based on the commodity (e.g., electricity or gas), the product (e.g., electricity for delivery during peak or off-peak
hours), the delivery location (e.g., by region), the risk profile (e.g., forward or option), and
the delivery period (e.g., by month and year).
The Company has established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). For further
discussion of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Part I Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Price Risk
We have commodity price risk in both utility and non-utility businesses arising from market price
fluctuations.
Our Electric and Gas utility businesses have risks in conjunction with the anticipated purchases of
coal, natural gas, uranium, electricity, and base metals to meet their service obligations.
However, the Company does not bear significant exposure to earnings risk as such changes are
included in the PSCR and GCR regulatory rate-recovery mechanisms. In addition, changes in the price
of natural gas can impact the valuation of lost and stolen gas, storage sales revenue and
uncollectible expenses at the Gas Utility. Gas Utility manages its market price risk related to
storage sales revenue primarily through the sale of long-term storage contracts. The Company is
exposed to short-term cash flow or liquidity risk as a result of the time differential between
actual cash settlements and regulatory rate recovery.
Our Gas Storage and Pipelines business segment has limited exposure to natural gas price
fluctuations and manages its exposure through the sale of long-term storage and transportation
contracts.
Our Unconventional Gas Production business segment has exposure to natural gas and crude oil price
fluctuations. These commodity price fluctuations can impact both current year earnings and reserve
valuations. To manage this exposure we may use forward energy and futures contracts.
Our Power and Industrial Projects business segment is subject to electricity, natural gas, coal and
coal-based product price risk. To the extent that commodity price risk has not been mitigated
through the use of long-term contracts, we manage this exposure using forward energy, capacity and
futures contracts.
Our Energy Trading business segment has exposure to electricity, natural gas, crude oil, heating
oil, and foreign currency exchange price fluctuations. These risks are managed by our energy
marketing and trading operations through the use of forward energy, capacity, storage, options and
futures contracts, within pre-determined risk parameters.
Credit Risk
Bankruptcies
We purchase and sell electricity, gas, coal, coke and other energy products from and to numerous
companies operating in the steel, automotive, energy, retail, financial and other industries.
Certain of our customers have filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. We regularly review contingent matters relating to these customers and our
purchase and sale contracts and record provisions for amounts considered at risk of probable loss.
We believe our accrued amounts are adequate for probable loss. The final resolution of these
matters may have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Other
We have tracking mechanisms to mitigate a significant amount of losses related to uncollectible
accounts receivable at Detroit Edison and MichCon. These mechanisms are subject to the jurisdiction
of the MPSC and are periodically reviewed. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
We engage in business with customers that are non-investment grade. We closely monitor the credit
ratings of these customers and, when deemed necessary, we request collateral or guarantees from
such customers to secure their obligations.
56
Trading Activities
We are exposed to credit risk through trading activities. Credit risk is the potential loss that
may result if our trading counterparties fail to meet their contractual obligations. We utilize
both external and internal credit assessments when determining the credit quality of our trading
counterparties. The following table displays the credit quality of our trading counterparties as of
June 30, 2011:

This category includes counterparties that have not been rated by Moodys or Standard &
Poors, and are considered non-investment grade based on DTE Energys evaluation of the
counterpartys creditworthiness. The five largest counterparty exposures combined for this
category represented approximately 3 percent of the total gross credit exposure. |
Interest Rate Risk
DTE Energy is subject to interest rate risk in connection with the issuance of debt and preferred
securities. In order to manage interest costs, we may use treasury locks and interest rate swap
agreements. Our exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from changes in U.S. Treasury
rates, commercial paper rates and London Inter-Bank Offered Rates (LIBOR). As of June 30, 2011, we
had a floating rate debt-to-total debt ratio of approximately seven percent (excluding securitized
debt).
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have foreign currency exchange risk arising from market price fluctuations associated with fixed
priced contracts. These contracts are denominated in Canadian dollars and are primarily for the
purchase and sale of power as well as for long-term transportation capacity. To limit our exposure
to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, we have entered into a series of foreign currency
exchange forward contracts through January 2013. Additionally, we may enter into fair value foreign
currency exchange hedges to mitigate changes in the value of contracts or loans.

Summary of Sensitivity Analysis
We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair values of our commodity contracts, long-term debt
obligations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The commodity contracts and foreign
currency exchange risk listed below principally relate to our energy marketing and trading
activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing and decreasing forward rates at June 30,
2011 and June 30, 2010 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair
values.
The results of the sensitivity analysis calculations as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010:

Part I Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of DTE Energys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2011, which is the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that
such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management,
including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Due to the inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any disclosure controls and procedures,
management cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of its disclosure controls and
procedures will be attained.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
59
Part II Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are various risks associated with the operations of DTE Energys utility and non-utility
businesses. To provide a framework to understand the operating environment of DTE Energy, we have
provided a brief explanation of the more significant risks associated with our businesses in Part
1, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys 2010 Form 10-K. Although we have tried to identify and
discuss key risk factors, others could emerge in the future. In addition to the risk factors set
forth in our 10-K, the following updated risks could affect our performance.
Operation of a nuclear facility subjects us to risk. Ownership of an operating nuclear generating
plant subjects us to significant additional risks. These risks include, among others, plant
security, environmental regulation and remediation, changes in federal nuclear regulation and
operational factors that can significantly impact the performance and cost of operating a nuclear
facility. While we maintain insurance for various nuclear-related risks, there can be no assurances
that such insurance will be sufficient to cover our costs in the event of an accident or business
interruption at our nuclear generating plant, which may affect our financial performance.
Construction and capital improvements to our power facilities and distribution systems subject us
to risk. We are managing ongoing and planning future significant construction and capital
improvement projects at multiple power generation and distribution facilities and our gas
distribution system. Many factors that could cause delay or increased prices for these complex
projects are beyond our control, including the cost of materials and labor, subcontractor
performance, timing and issuance of necessary permits, construction disputes and weather
conditions. Failure to complete these projects on schedule and on budget for any reason could
adversely affect our financial performance and operations at the affected facilities and
businesses.
