Table of Contents

     If you are not a shareholder of record, you can become one in several ways:

	•	You can purchase DTE Energy common stock through the Plan, and enroll those shares in the Plan at the same time. Request an “Enrollment Application” by calling the Plan Administrator or download the application at www.stockbny.com. Complete and return the application to the Plan Administrator. There is a minimum initial purchase, currently $250. Enclose a check for at least the minimum amount made payable to “The Bank of New York” in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. Do not send cash.
	•	If you own DTE Energy common stock in another account (e.g. in a broker, bank, trust or other nominee account), you can arrange with the nominee to transfer shares of stock into your name, and then follow the instructions for shareholders of record.
	•	You can purchase shares of DTE Energy common stock in your name through a broker or other source and then follow the instructions for shareholders of record.

4.	What are the fees and costs of Plan participation?

     Costs of Plan participation are subject to change from time to time at the discretion of DTE Energy. In addition, DTE Energy reserves the right to impose new and additional fees. Plan participants will be notified of changes in fees.

     Current fees and costs are set forth on Addendum A to this Prospectus.

5.	What investment options are provided under the Plan?

     You may participate in the Plan under any one of three investment options:

	•	Full Reinvestment
	•	Partial Reinvestment
	•	Cash Investment

     You can change your investment option at any time by calling or writing the Plan Administrator and requesting an enrollment form. Complete and return the form to the Plan Administrator. Any changes will be effective as of the next record date after receipt by the Plan Administrator.

6.	What is meant by Full Reinvestment?

     If you elect to fully reinvest your dividends, when a dividend is paid, the cash dividends on all your shares (both shares for which you hold a certificate and Plan shares) will be used to purchase additional shares of DTE Energy common stock. These additional shares, including fractional shares, will be credited to your Plan account and you will not receive a dividend check for any of the shares you own under the Plan. You will be able to send in cash investments at your convenience any time during the year.

7.	What is meant by Partial Reinvestment?

     If you elect to partially reinvest your dividends, when a dividend is paid you will receive a check for the cash dividends on a specified number of your shares, and the rest of your dividends will be reinvested in DTE Energy common stock. When you select this option, you must specify the number of whole shares on which you desire to receive a cash dividend. The balance of your dividends, including dividends on fractional shares, will be used to purchase additional shares of DTE Energy common stock and the additional shares will be credited to your Plan account. Your dividends will be reinvested according to your instructions and you will be able to send in cash investments at your convenience any time during the year.

Table of Contents

8.	What is meant by Cash Investment?

     If you elect Cash Investment only, you are stating that you want to be able to purchase additional Plan shares of DTE Energy common stock, but you do not want to participate in either dividend reinvestment option.

     When a dividend is paid, you will receive a check for the full amount of the dividends payable to you on both your certificated and your Plan shares, including the fractional shares.

9.	How are cash investments made?

     Unlike dividend reinvestment, which normally occurs at quarterly intervals, you can make cash investments throughout the year. Plan purchases with cash investments are generally made on the 15^th day of the month in which dividends are paid and on or after the 10th day of each calendar month in which a dividend is not paid. Each cash investment must be a minimum of $50 per transaction. Your total cash investments for any calendar month cannot exceed $10,000 and your annual cash investments cannot exceed $100,000 per calendar year. These minimum and maximum amounts are subject to change by DTE Energy. You will receive a statement that shows the number of whole and fractional shares that were purchased and credited to your account, but you will not automatically receive stock certificates for shares purchased under the Plan.

     A cash investment can be made in the following ways:

	•	Mail a check to the Plan Administrator for no less than the minimum amount. Your check must be made payable to “The Bank of New York” in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. Third party checks, foreign checks and money orders will not be accepted and will be returned. Do not send cash. For your convenience, you can use the tear-off form on your Plan statement to send your cash investments.
	•	You can authorize the Plan Administrator to make automatic monthly withdrawals of a specified dollar amount from your bank account by electronic funds transfer. There may be a fee for electronic transactions. Contact the Plan Administrator to obtain an authorization form for automatic monthly withdrawals. Funds generally will be withdrawn from your bank account on the 25th day of each month or the preceding business day if the 25th is not a business day. Purchases will be made with the next investment after the withdrawal. Allow four to six weeks for the initial withdrawal. To discontinue monthly purchases by automatic withdrawal, send the Plan Administrator written, signed instructions that such authorization is revoked.

     If the Plan Administrator receives checks or electronic transfers for more or less than the permissible amount, no investment will be made. The funds will be returned to you by regular U.S. mail.

     If your check submitted to purchase additional shares is returned unpaid, the Plan Administrator will resell the shares purchased in reliance on the unpaid check. The Plan Administrator may liquidate shares in your account for reimbursement for the transaction fees related to the purchase and sale, plus any loss incurred on reselling the shares.

     If you change your mind and want to cancel an upcoming cash investment, you should notify the Plan Administrator in writing. Plan shares are purchased monthly. Therefore, the Plan Administrator should receive your written cancellation notice at least five business days prior to the investment date for the month.

10.	When will shares be purchased under the Plan?

     Shares related to dividend reinvestment will be purchased quarterly during the dividend payment months of January, April, July and October. If demand requires, purchases may be made over several days. Share purchases for the Plan are expected to be made by a broker affiliated with the Plan Administrator or purchased directly from DTE Energy. The exact timing of purchases made within the purchase period will depend on the amount of funds available for investment that quarter and may be affected by securities law requirements.

6

Table of Contents

     Shares related to cash investments will be purchased monthly on or after the 10^th of the month, except during January, April, July and October when they will be purchased along with the shares related to dividend reinvestment.

     For optional cash investments, funds received by the Plan Administrator by 12:00 noon on the business day prior to each investment date will be invested on that investment date. Funds received by the Plan Administrator after that time will be invested on the subsequent investment date.

     If for any reason shares cannot be purchased, you will be sent your dividends in cash and all cash investment funds will be returned by U.S. mail.

11.	Will interest be paid to me on funds for investment?

     There may be a delay between the date the Plan Administrator receives your cash payment or between a dividend payable date and the date the shares are credited to your Plan account. You will not receive interest on funds held for dividend reinvestment or cash investment by the Plan pending investment or returned to you prior to investment.

12.	How many shares will be purchased for me?

     No one can predict the number of shares that will be purchased for you during a particular purchase period. You cannot direct the Plan Administrator to purchase a specific number of shares. The number of shares purchased for your account depends on the amount of funds you have available for investment and the price of the shares. The amount of funds available depends on what you have authorized for dividend reinvestment, plus, if applicable, any cash investment you have sent in. In every case, your available funds will be fully invested and your account credited with both whole and fractional shares (computed to at least four decimal places).

13.	How is the price of the shares determined?

     If the Plan Administrator purchases your shares from DTE Energy (“original issue”), the price per share will be the average of the high and low prices on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for DTE Energy common stock on the pricing date and brokerage commission will not be charged. The pricing date for original issue shares purchased in connection with dividend reinvestment and any shares related to cash investments purchased at the same time will be the dividend payment date. The dividend payment dates are the 15^th day of January, April, July and October. If the dividend payment date is not a business day, the pricing date will be the next business day. The pricing date for shares purchased for any month that is not a dividend payment month will be the 10^th day of the month or the next business day.

     If the Plan Administrator purchases your shares in the public markets or in privately negotiated transactions, the purchase price per share will be the average price of all shares purchased, including brokerage commission. If demand requires, purchases may be made over several days. The share purchases for the Plan are expected to be made by a broker affiliated with the Plan Administrator.

     These share prices apply to all shares purchased by the Plan Administrator for your account.

     When you authorize your dividends to be reinvested, send in a cash payment, or have funds electronically transferred to purchase DTE Energy common stock, the Plan Administrator will use all of your funds to buy the number of shares that can be purchased at the price determination described above, after deducting an administrative fee.

14.	How can I keep track of account activity?

     The Plan Administrator will mail you quarterly statements of your account balance and activity. In addition, whenever there is activity in your account such as an additional purchase of shares, withdrawal, transfer or sale of shares, the Plan Administrator will mail you a separate written confirmation of that transaction.

Table of Contents

     Be sure to keep your Plan statements for income tax purposes. If you believe that an error has been made in your Plan records, or that Plan mailings to you are being misdirected, lost or stolen, promptly contact the Plan Administrator.

15.	Will I receive a stock certificate for my Plan shares? May I request one?

     You will not automatically receive a stock certificate for shares purchased for you under the Plan. However, you may request a certificate at any time. A stock certificate can be issued for any number of whole Plan shares credited to your account, but not for fractional shares. You can make your request for a stock certificate for a specific number of shares in the following ways:

	•	Complete the tear-off form attached to your Plan statement and mail the form to the Plan Administrator.
	•	Call the Plan Administrator at 1-866-388-8558.
	•	Mail written instructions to the Plan Administrator. Include your account number, your registration and the account social security or taxpayer identification number on your request.
	•	Access your account via the Internet at www.stockbny.com.

     The stock certificate will be registered in exactly the same registration as your Plan account unless you make other arrangements.

16.	May I transfer Plan shares to another person?

     Yes. If you wish to transfer Plan shares, contact the Plan Administrator for transfer instructions. The Plan Administrator must have written instructions, with your signature on the written instructions guaranteed by a bank or broker participating in a Medallion Signature Guarantee program approved by the Plan Administrator. Provide the name, address, and social security or tax identification number of the transferee. The Plan Administrator will send the certificates to the transferee by first class mail unless notified otherwise.

17.	What happens to transfers occurring before and after the dividend record date?

     If shares are transferred before the dividend record date, the dividends are credited to the new owner. If shares are transferred after the dividend record date, the dividends are credited to the original owner. If you participate in dividend reinvestment and your request to withdraw from the Plan is received after the dividend record date, your request will be processed, and you will generally receive a check for the dividend payment instead of dividend reinvestment.

18.	Does the Plan provide for safekeeping certificates?

     You can deposit the common stock certificates you are now holding for safekeeping under the Plan. The shares represented by your certificates will be credited to your account as Plan shares. Unless instructed otherwise, the Plan Administrator will fully reinvest the dividends on these shares. In the future, should you want or need a stock certificate, you can request one. However, the certificate issued to you will be a new certificate and will have the current date.

     Do not sign the certificates you are sending to the Plan Administrator. It is recommended that you use certified or registered mail with an insured value of 2% of the current market value of the certificate.

19.	Can I sell shares I own under the Plan?

     To sell all or a portion of your shares, you can make your request in the following ways:

	•	Complete the tear-off form attached to your Plan statement and mail the form to the Plan Administrator.
	•	Call the Plan Administrator at 1-866-388-8558. You may instruct the Plan Administrator to sell some or all of your Plan shares by placing a sale order via the Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) system. Enter your social security or taxpayer identification number at the prompt and select the menu option for sales. Follow the instructions provided. For security purposes, you will be asked to enter your Plan account number. If you do not have a social security or taxpayer identification number, please visit the Plan Administrator’s website at www.stockbny.com for additional options.
	•	Mail written instructions to the Plan Administrator. Include your account number, your registration and the account social security or taxpayer identification number on your request.
	•	Access your account via the Internet at www.stockbny.com.

     The Plan Administrator will sell your Plan shares at the current market price on the NYSE. Generally, sales are processed daily. In no event will your sale order be executed on the day your order is placed. Therefore, you should anticipate a difference between the price of the stock on the date you place the order and the price at which the shares are sold. There is an administrative fee, along with a small brokerage fee. These fees will be deducted from the proceeds of the sale. It is anticipated that sales will be made through a broker affiliated with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will mail a check for the net proceeds of the sale to the address on record by first class mail. If you want your check mailed to a different address, you must notify the Plan Administrator in writing at the time of your sale request.

     An IRS Form 1099B reporting the sale of shares for income tax purposes will be attached to the check. Retain the Form 1099B for your tax reporting purposes. You should consult with your own tax advisor for advice applicable to your particular situation.

20.	When and how can I withdraw from the Plan?

     To withdraw from the Plan you can make your request in the following ways:

	•	Complete the tear-off form attached to your Plan statement and mail the form to the Plan Administrator.
	•	Call the Plan Administrator at 1-866-388-8558.
	•	Mail written instructions to the Plan Administrator. Include your account number, your registration and the account social security or taxpayer identification number on your request.
	•	Access your account via the Internet at www.stockbny.com.

     When closing your Plan account, you have the following choices:

	•	You can ask for a certificate for all your Plan shares. You will receive a stock certificate for the whole Plan shares credited to your Plan account along with a check for any fractional share sold on the open market less the fees for sales and applicable withholding or transfer taxes.
	•	You can request that all your Plan shares be sold. You will receive a check for the whole and fractional shares sold on the open market less any fees for sales and applicable withholding or transfer taxes.
	•	You can ask for a certificate for a specific number of your Plan shares and request that the rest be sold. You will receive a certificate for the number of whole shares you want to retain in certificated form outside of the Plan and

Table of Contents

		a check for the whole and fractional shares sold on the open market less the fees for sales and applicable withholding or transfer taxes.

     Generally, the Plan Administrator processes requests to withdraw from the Plan daily. The Plan Administrator will mail your certificate and/or check to your address on record by first class mail. If you want your certificate and/or sale check mailed to another address, you must notify the Plan Administrator in writing at the time of your request to withdraw from the Plan.

21.	If I withdraw from the Plan, can I decide to rejoin?

     If you withdraw from the Plan and later want to re-enroll, you will have to submit a new enrollment application. If you are no longer a shareholder of record, you will need to submit a new enrollment application and invest at least the minimum amount. As it is difficult and costly to administer numerous openings and closings of an account, a particular request to rejoin the Plan could be denied.

22.	Can DTE Energy change or discontinue the Plan?

     The Plan can be amended, modified, suspended, or terminated by DTE Energy at any time. If the Plan is discontinued, any dividends or cash investments not yet invested will be sent to you. You will receive a certificate for whole Plan shares, a check for any fractional Plan share credited to your account less the fees for sales and applicable withholding or transfer taxes.

23.	What happens if DTE Energy declares a stock split or issues a dividend payable in shares?

     If DTE Energy declares a stock split or issues a dividend payable in shares, the additional shares related to your Plan shares will be credited to your account. Certificates for the additional shares related to any certificated shares you hold under the Plan will be mailed directly to you.

24.	What if DTE Energy has a rights offering?

     DTE Energy’s common stock shareholders do not have preemptive rights. However, if there is a rights offering affecting the shares in your Plan account, you will be notified. If you want to exercise the rights offering, you must let the Plan Administrator know prior to the record date for such rights. Because rights certificates are issued only for whole shares, the rights on fractional shares will be sold during the next investment purchase period, and the net proceeds of the sale will be used to purchase Plan shares. Similarly, if you choose not to exercise the rights offering, the rights on all the shares in your Plan account will be sold, and the net proceeds will be used to purchase Plan shares on your behalf.

25.	What are the responsibilities of DTE Energy under the Plan?

     DTE Energy and the Plan Administrator are responsible for administering the Plan in accordance with this Prospectus, but are not liable for any actions performed or failed to be performed in good faith.

     DTE Energy reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation by a shareholder who misuses the Plan.

26.	Who bears the risk of market-price fluctuations affecting the value of the Plan shares?

     Each individual participant in the Plan bears the risk of market-price changes affecting the value of the stock. DTE Energy and the Plan Administrator cannot assure you of a profit or protect you against a loss on any shares you hold, purchase, or sell under the Plan.

Table of Contents

     Plan shares are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, are not deposits or other obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, either DTE Energy or the Plan Administrator, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal amount invested.

27.	Will there always be quarterly dividend payments to reinvest?

     No one can promise or predict what the DTE Energy Board of Directors will do in regard to future dividends on DTE Energy common stock. The amount and payment of dividends depends on the earnings, financial condition, cash flow, and other factors affecting DTE Energy and its affiliates.

28.	What tax consequences should I be aware of?

     DTE Energy is not in a position to advise you on the tax consequences of your participation in the Plan. As a general rule, participants in the Plan have the same federal income tax obligations as shareholders who do not participate in the Plan.

     You will receive a year-end statement from the Plan Administrator to be used in preparing your tax returns as applicable under IRS guidelines. You should consult with your own tax advisor for advice applicable to your particular situation.

     The consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule of the Company and its subsidiaries, incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from the Company’s current Report on Form 8-K filed July 15, 2003, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to changes in the methods of accounting for goodwill and energy trading contracts in 2002 and for derivative instruments and hedging activities in 2001), and have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

     With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the three, six and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 that are included in DTE Energy’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003, which are incorporated herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLP have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, as stated in their reports included in such Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not “reports” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

     Legal matters in connection with the validity of the common stock offered under the Plan have been passed upon for DTE Energy by T.A. Hughes, Associate General Counsel. Mr. Hughes beneficially owns and holds options to purchase DTE Energy common stock and is eligible to participate in the Plan.
