We’re working to build a stronger, more modern grid to ensure you have reliable power now and far in the future. That’s why we’re upgrading and rebuilding the electric infrastructure on Detroit’s east side. When the work is complete, our customers will see improved reliability and safety; reduced number of power outages; and increased grid capacity. The additional capacity will support the move toward cleaner energy solutions like electric vehicles, as well as new and existing residents and businesses.
