DTE - How long have you been in business?


The Detroit Free Press reports that Michigan's two largest electricity providers, DTE and Consumers Energy, are among the worst-performing utilities in the country at how long it takes them to get the lights back on after a power outage, a review of reliability data shows. Despite that, Michiganders pay more for electricity than their neighbors around the Great Lakes. 

Michigan lawmakers and the MPSC are holding Town Hall Meetings so that residents can express their frustrations. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/michigan-lawmakers-hosting-town-to-discuss-recent-widespread-dte-power-outages

I just have a couple of questions that I never hear asked by the media, residents or lawmakers:

D    DTE - 
1)     How long have you been in business?
2)     How long have you been having storms/weather issues in your area of responsibility?
3)     How many chances/times have you had the opportunity to have an example/test data of the problems you face?
4)     How come you have not figured it out yet?

According to Wikipedia DTE has been in business over 100 years. I think it’s time they figured it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTE_Energy
