As DTE Energy continues to strengthen its grid, our team is dedicated to identifying equipment that is due for an upgrade or replacement. This can range from installing new power poles, cross arms transformers or even new wire.
Recently, that brought our crews to the corner of Pine Haven and Glen Iris Drive in Commerce Township. At this location, crews were busy carrying out upgrades to the underground electrical equipment in the area. Specifically, new cable is being installed to provide stronger and more reliable service in the area. Customers in the area will see a reliability boost to their service, especially during extreme weather situations.
DTE Energy is dedicated to constructing a smarter, stronger and more resilient grid to enhance reliability. Our commitment to customers is to reduce power outages by 30% and to cut outage durations in half by 2029.
Upgrading work is part of DTE’s plan to build the grid of the future. That plan, now well underway, includes transitioning to a smart grid, upgrading existing infrastructure, rebuilding significant portions of the grid and trimming trees.
