The map provides information about grid improvement work in DTE’s electric service territory that is in progress or planned over the next two years. The map also shows work that has been completed during the past three years. Additionally, customers can find reliability performance information.  

We recommend using the map tutorial to see all the features and functions you can use. 

For a quick summary: 

The blue circles on the map show how many reliability improvement projects are happening within an area.

• Click on the circles to see improvement work or use the search bar to discover work in a specific county, city, ZIP code or address.  
• Then, click on the icons to get more detailed information about the past, present or planned work in those areas

DTE will update the grid improvement data monthly. Boundaries shown on the map are approximate and may not represent current conditions, all work, or the exact location, nature or extent of work. The map is updated monthly but work is ongoing and can change more frequently. Extreme weather could impact the electric system after upgrades.

DTE will update the reliability performance data annually. The data on power reliability shown above represents the average time customers in a certain zip code spent with and without power in 2023 and 2024. The time without power in 2023 and 2024 may have been longer or shorter than the average shown above for some customers. The data is calculated at the end of every calendar year to give customers a holistic view of the average outage information for their area.

The electric circuit that services your home or business may stretch for miles from your location. You may not see work happening directly on your street or in your neighborhood, but work happening elsewhere can impact the equipment that delivers power to your home or business, improving your electric reliability.

No. DTE is committed to reducing power outages by 30% while cutting outage time in half by the end of 2029. The map only shows work planned over the next two years and does not show the exact location, nature or extent of work currently underway.

DTE crews are working on the system daily to improve reliability for customers, investing $9 billion through 2029. The map reflects most planned work to improve our system. Work being done to make repairs due to damage (storm damage, vehicles hitting our equipment, animal intrusion, etc.) is not reflected on the map.

The Power Improvements Map shows reliability performance data and information on grid improvement work. The Outage Map provides customers with information on power outages. The Outage Map is located within the Outage Center, where you can report an outage, check status and choose how to receive updates. 

Reliability performance data is updated annually. DTE will update the map with reliability performance data for the previous years once the data is available.

Providing reliability performance data for two full calendar years gives a more comparative, comprehensive overview of the average outage information in a ZIP code.

DTE respects and protects your privacy as described in our privacy notice. For this reason, data is aggregated by ZIP code. 

DTE is committed to reducing power outages by 30% while cutting outage time in half by the end of 2029.  Reliability improvements at your address will vary depending on the nature of the work being done. Some benefits will be more immediate than others.

There may be times when our crews need to de-energize equipment so they can safely install new equipment or work on the system. If a service interruption is planned, DTE makes every effort to notify customers ahead of time by automated phone message, email and/or mailing.
