Company
At DTE Energy, our aspiration is to be the best-operated energy company in North America and a force for growth and prosperity in the communities where we live and serve. Our aspiration grew out of our employees' genuine desire to help build a better future for Michigan and for every community in which we operate.
In 2016, we delivered electricity to our customers from coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear and renewable energy sources. Our natural gas utility business serves approximately 1.3 million residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Michigan. We own distribution, storage and transportation facilities, approximately 2,000 miles of large gas transmission pipelines and 19,000 miles of smaller distribution mains.
