Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

We are filing this Form 8-K to enable investors to review certain financial data reflected in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, on a basis consistent with a realignment of our business segments which was adopted in the second quarter of 2005. Through the first quarter of 2005, we operated our businesses through three strategic business units (Energy Resources, Energy Distribution and Energy Gas). Each business unit had utility and non-utility operations. The balance of our business consisted of Corporate & Other. In the second quarter of 2005, we realigned our business units to strengthen the Company’s focus on customer relationships and growth within our non-utility businesses. Based on this structure we set strategic goals, allocate resources and evaluate performance.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2005, we report our segment information based on the following realignment:

•		Electric Utility, consisting of Detroit Edison;
•		Gas Utility, primarily consisting of MichCon;
•		Non-utility Operations

	•		Power and Industrial Projects, primarily consisting of synfuel projects, on-site energy services, steel-related projects, power generation with services, and waste coal recovery operations;
	•		Unconventional Gas Production, primarily consisting of unconventional gas project development and production;
	•		Fuel Transportation and Marketing, primarily consisting of coal transportation and marketing, gas pipelines and storage, and energy marketing and trading operations; and

•

Corporate & Other, primarily consisting of corporate support functions and certain energy technology investments.
