From turning on your stove or dryer to warming your home in the winter, DTE’s natural gas supply is always ready for you. That’s because our gas buying team works year-round to ensure our supply never runs out.
We prepare for the worst, so you get the best service
We estimate how much natural gas our customers will need each year, especially in the winter. To do this, our team references the lowest historical temperatures in the past 70 years, in 16 separate regions throughout our service territory. Then, we use predictive analysis to simulate a day when these low temperatures hit each of the 16 regions all on the same day. This worst-case analysis is used to determine how much gas we need to have ready to serve.
No matter the weather or the market conditions, DTE Gas’ buying team maintains a steady supply of natural gas for you. We often buy gas up to three years in advance of when we actually need it and store it deep underground in multiple locations across Michigan. This strategy helps us stabilize the cost of natural gas and protects you from seeing unexpected price increases on your bill.
