DTE Energy has issued a statement encouraging residents in Southeast Michigan to conserve energy and use air conditioning wisely as temperatures rise. The company is emphasizing that it has taken all necessary precautions to ensure reliable power supply despite the heatwave [1]. DTE also provided specific tips for homeowners, such as setting their thermostats at 78 degrees or higher during the day and using fans instead of air conditioning in less critical areas [2].
While some residents may be turning to alternative cooling methods like portable AC units, DTE Energy has advised against doing so due to potential strain on the power grid. The company is urging people to conserve energy by reducing non-essential use of electricity during peak hours and by checking for any leaks or drafts in their homes [3].
