Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
If regulators deny favorable rates or eliminate recovery mechanisms, DTE could face difficulty recovering costs and funding planned capital investment.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
How are future rate cases likely to treat capital spending?
Starting evidence: Rates are set by the MPSC and FERC and cannot change without regulatory authorization, so recovery outcomes affect the investment case.
Investigate next: Review recent MPSC rate-case orders, requested versus authorized outcomes, and the timing of cost recovery.
Read the supporting filing ↗What compliance burden does Michigan's clean energy mandate create?
Starting evidence: Michigan legislation requires cleaner energy and renewable generation; DTE is assessing its impacts and plans to update its Integrated Resource Plan.
Investigate next: Read the next Integrated Resource Plan for planned generation changes, retirements and cost implications.
Read the supporting filing ↗How exposed is the electric business to retail access migration?
Starting evidence: DTE must provide full service to retail access customers who return, which could require additional generating capacity.
Investigate next: Examine current migration levels relative to the cap and any pending legislative changes to the program.
