DTE Energy

Detroit's big power and gas utility, the old Detroit Edison, serving millions in Southeast Michigan from its downtown headquarters.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

DTE Energy is the electric and gas utility for Detroit and much of Southeast Michigan, and the successor to Detroit Edison, which formed in 1903 and became DTE Energy in 1996.

You can spot the headquarters from the freeway: the 25-story Walker Cisler Building with glowing DTE letters on top.
