DTE Energy, THAW team up for Customer Assistance Day at Cobo Hall

Cobo Hall – Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Cobo Hall Convention Center in Detroit, customers will be assisted by DTE Energy Customer Service Representatives and other human service agency representatives and receive information on energy efficiency. Eligible, low income customers will be referred to agencies like DHS and THAW for energy assistance.

With increasingly difficult economic conditions facing families across the state, DTE Energy and THAW are working to highlight how cuts in government funding for home energy assistance programs could negatively impact Michigan residents.

As the culmination of the Week of Warmth (www.weekofwarmth.org and #warmth2011 on Twitter) activities - including the Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Day and others, customers are encouraged to attend the event at Cobo Hall if they or someone they know is in need of energy payment assistance.

Customers must bring the following documents: their last DTE Energy bill, photo identification, proof of income and Social Security Number.
