Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 3, 2007, the Court of Appeals of the State of Michigan published its decision with respect to an appeal by, among others, The Detroit Edison Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DTE Energy Company, of certain provisions of the November 23, 2004 Opinion and Order of the Michigan Public Service Commission (“MPSC”). DTE Energy and Detroit Edison are continuing to evaluate the Court of Appeals’ decision. Detroit Edison has not initiated a regulatory proceeding regarding this court decision, but will work with the MPSC to implement it. Given the nature of regulatory proceedings, DTE Energy and Detroit Edison are unable to predict the financial or other outcome of any regulatory action at this time.
For additional information regarding the MPSC’s November 23, 2004 Opinion and Order, please see DTE Energy’s and Detroit Edison’s Form 8-K dated November 30, 2004, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
