DTE Energy Faces Legal Challenges Over Environmental Violations

DTE Energy's subsidiary, EES Coke Battery, is involved in ongoing legal proceedings related to alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued findings of violation against EES Coke for exceeding sulfur dioxide emissions and for non-compliance with permitting requirements. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a complaint against EES Coke, which now includes DTE Energy as a defendant, following a court's decision to amend the complaint to add parent entities.

A trial concerning potential remedies for these violations is scheduled to begin on September 15, 2025. The EPA has requested penalties, but DTE Energy has stated it cannot predict the outcome or financial impact of the case at this time. The situation may affect the company's financial standing and operations, making it relevant for investors to monitor developments closely.
