DTE Energy presented its first quarter 2024 financial results, showing a robust start to the year. The energy company, well-entrenched with a solid foundation, reported operating earnings of $346 million, translating to $1.67 per share. Despite facing milder winter weather which affected demand, DTE Energy demonstrated financial resilience. DTE Electric contributed significantly with earnings of $194 million, showing a notable increase from the previous year, primarily attributed to lower storm costs and implemented rate changes. Conversely, DTE Gas experienced a slight decline in earnings due to the warmer winter, although these were partially offset by higher revenue mechanisms.
