Record Year at USA's Largest Energy and Environment Conference

TUCSON, Ariz. -- EUEC, the USA's largest energy and environment conference, has announced that DTE Energy's Chairman and CEO Anthony F. Earley Jr. will deliver the second plenary keynote speech on Monday, January 28. A leading advocate for a clean and secure hydrogen-powered economy, Earley will share with the 1,600+ attendees his vision of the upcoming revolutionary shift away from the fossil-based utility industry facing a carbon-constrained future. Under his leadership, DTE Energy has become one of the most innovative companies to emerge from the traditional utility business. The 11th annual EUEC is scheduled for January 27-30 at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson, AZ. To register for the conference, visit www.euec.com.

"On behalf of EUEC, I'm deeply appreciative of Tony Earley's keynote," said Dr. Prabhu Dayal, Chair of EUEC 2008, the 11th Annual Conference on Clean Air, Mercury, Global Warming and Renewable Energy. "There is much we can learn from the leader of a highly successful $9.0 billion diversified energy company. We're most interested in hearing about Mr. Earley's vision of promising new energy technologies that would challenge some of the world class experts participating at EUEC to implement and help achieve energy independence."

"I'm honored to be addressing EUEC and to have a chance to share how DTE Energy plans to change the way we think about power," Earley commented. "Our industry today is faced with the challenge of balancing two, sometimes conflicting, priorities. Technology developments will be essential if we are to continue supplying reliable, reasonably priced electricity while also improving the environment. Both are critical to the future of our industry and our country."

DTE Energy has a long history as a customer-oriented provider of power in Michigan. The company celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2003. Its energy-related business portfolio includes energy consulting and project management services, a sophisticated energy trading business, and one of the nation's largest purchasers, transporters, and marketers of coal. Currently, DTE is offering its customers the option to receive some or all of their power from wind, sun, water, biomass and other environmentally friendly sources. Customers pay only a few additional dollars a month for these renewable energy alternatives.
