DTE Electric has won federal approval to acquire a 320-MW natural gas-fired peaking plant from its parent company to help it meet MISO Zone 7 resource adequacy requirements.

FERC declined to rehear DTE Electric’s contention that MISO rules put generation developers at a disadvantage in the competition for reliability projects.

Extreme cold helped drive first quarter earnings at two of Michigan’s utilities, though neither DTE Energy nor CMS Energy enjoyed quite the bump as during the polar vortex last year.

A week after a Michigan lawmaker introduced a bill that would end electric deregulation, Gov. Rick Snyder unveiled an energy plan of his own that would continue the state’s limited customer choice.

DTE Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings soared 141%, largely on growth in its non-utility operations.
