Never miss a payment with AutoPay 

One thing that will really throw off your budget is a missed payment. With AutoPay, your DTE account balance will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account or debit or credit card on your monthly due date. You will receive an email alert of this withdrawal ahead of time, which will give you a chance to transfer money to your payment method, if necessary

Get your budget in order with BudgetWise Billing® 

Make your energy bills more predictable with BudgetWise Billing. We average your energy costs for the past 12 months to determine your initial BudgetWise Billing monthly payment. Your budget plan may adjust slightly every three months based on your actual energy usage. After nine months on your plan, we check to see if your energy costs have increased or decreased compared to what you’ve paid. And any outstanding balance on your account will be divided equally and added to the last three months of your plan. At the end of your plan year, if you have paid for more energy than you used, you will receive a bill credit. If you used more energy than what you paid for, you will need to settle those costs before you start a new plan in the next year.
