It’s planting season: What you need to know before you dig

DTE Energy's spring cleaning initiative focuses on tree trimming to prevent power outages by removing branches threatening electrical lines. By the end of 2025, they aim to have trimmed their entire service territory, enhancing community safety and grid reliability. DTE also advises safe tree planting practices, recommending species like arborvitae near power lines and ensuring compliance with utility regulations through services like Miss Dig.
