DETROIT — DTE Energy remains short of its goal for power restoration on Saturday following the historic ice storm.
DTE President and CEO Jerry Norcia promised to have 90% of its customers back with power by the end of Friday but just over 87% were back on the grid at noon Saturday.
Over 400,000 DTE and Consumers Energy customers remained without power at noon Saturday after Michigan's worst ice storm in 50 years left over a million people without power. In some areas over half an inch of ice coated everything from trees to wires, bringing down branches and utility poles across southeast Michigan.
