Inducing Health Harms
Damaging Democracy
Together with our partners, MEJC and LittleSis, we find that DTE has extracted profit from its customers through hundreds of thousands of shutoffs, the second highest amount of rate hikes in the country, and unnecessary power outages that leave customers without power.
They have invested heavily in new fossil fuel power plants that place significant health burdens on customers while blocking renewable energy initiatives. Finally, this report digs into the campaign donations of DTE executives, board members, and PAC to reveal how they utilize dark money to advance their profit-driven agenda.
In recent years, utility companies have been increasingly engaging in what is known as “demand response” programs. These programs allow the company to temporarily shut off power to certain customers during periods of high demand, in order to reduce strain on the grid.
Tell the Michigan Public Service Commission: Reject DTE's proposed rate increase!

In Detroit, with double the vulnerability level as the region, most residents only have outdated electric infrastructure
Modernization efforts in Detroit favor industrial and municipal customers over residents
