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.

A trial concerning potential remedies for these violations is scheduled to begin on September 15, 2025.

The situation may affect the company's financial standing and operations, making it relevant for investors to monitor developments closely.
