The money will pay for last-mile energy delivery to low-income residents and efforts to lessen the risk of severe weather damaging the power grid.

In Ann Arbor I've had at least 2 instances where my power was out for 3 or more days and a bunch of people were without power for over a week during the ice storm this year. Some of those folks lost power again for multiple days in subsequent storms.

That ice storm turned me into an advocate for municipal power. DTE is the worst and shouldn't be allowed to pocket our tax dollars and raise rates while they let the grid fall apart

The ice storms this year were so bad in Ann Arbor that when DTE was announced as the sponsor of a musical I was in the orchestra for, the whole crowd booed.
