Power restored for more than 2,600 DTE customers in southwest Ann Arbor
By Julie Baker
Editor's note: The outage map shows power was restored to customers by 10:30 a.m.
More than 2,600 DTE Energy customers in southwest Ann Arbor were without power this morning.
Power has been out since around 7:45 a.m. Saturday. Restoration is expected between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
A DTE spokesman said the utility company was responding to the outage around 9 a.m. He said it appeared to be a problem with a substation and the company is hoping to beat the restoration estimates.

Wait until these people call DTE about their lost food in the freezer and DTE tells them it was 'an act of nature'. Their standard excuse which translates to 'sue us if you want and we'll turn it into a long drawn out affair with our legal dept. winning when you give up.' Weak, inadequate, poorly planned infrastructure. Let them customers eat cake.

DTE.....perhaps if you didn't treat people as you did my mother a few weeks ago, the power wouldn't fail so often. When a 94 year old lady calls you to tell you that high voltage wires are running through dead pine trees behind her property and you refuse to take the trees out until I call threatening to go to the MPSC, you deserve to be despised. Bullies! I'm sure this is a case of the squirrel chewing the lines, excuse number 12 on their list of excuses. It cannot be a matter of high paid executives and profits for stockholders being more important than regular maintenance. Nope.

Apparently brings more value to the table than you do. Probably contributes more to EPS per dollar of salary, or is it union confiscatory hourly wages, than you do either.

ouch!!. Makes me sick to see people get paid that much. Sports, CEO, and all they do is delegate their work to the underlings. No one is worth that much, anywhere!!
