Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 10, 2012, DTE Energy Company (“DTE Energy”) issued a press release announcing the date and time of its first quarter 2012 earnings call. The press release also includes an estimated first quarter weather impact on certain DTE Energy segments and an affirmation of 2012 annual operating earnings guidance. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

DTE Energy will meet with groups of investors in Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York on April 11-12, 2012. A copy of the slide presentation from the meetings is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and will be available on DTE Energy’s website, www.dteenergy.com on April 10, 2012. In those meetings and in the slide presentation furnished herewith, DTE Energy reaffirms its 2012 operating earnings per share guidance of $3.65-$3.95 per share.

In the press release, slide presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2012 operating earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s 2012 reported results will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2012 reported earnings guidance are not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a filing.
