The recent public hearing on possible rate hikes for DTE brought out a number of angry people. Angry about the rate hikes, angry about power outages, and more.
The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) which “oversees” utility companies recently published an audit from an outside company.
Based on audit results, no wonder there are power outages! The audit found that DTE has 100-year-old transformers still in use in Michigan! It also mentioned that 25% of DTE utility poles and 20% of its power transmission lines are more than 60 years old!
