Utilizing such data, the Company has determined three internal grades of credit quality.  Internal grade 1 includes financing receivables for counterparties where credit rating agencies have ranked the counterparty as investment grade.  To the extent credit ratings are not available, the Company utilizes other credit quality indicators to determine the level of risk associated with the financing receivable.  Internal grade 1 may include financing receivables for counterparties for which credit rating agencies have ranked the counterparty as below investment grade&#59; however, due to favorable information on other credit quality indicators, the Company has determined the risk level to be similar to that of an investment grade counterparty.  Internal grade 2 includes financing receivables for counterparties with limited credit information and those with a higher risk profile based upon credit quality indicators.

The request reflected a net increase to customer rates of only $160&#160;million, as an existing IRM surcharge of $106&#160;million would be rolled into the new base rates.  The requested increase was primarily due to increased investments in plant related to system reliability and pipeline safety and inflationary impact on operating costs, partially offset by higher sales.

Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company makes certain assumptions it believes that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques.  Credit risk of the Company and its counterparties is incorporated in the valuation of assets and liabilities through the use of credit reserves, the impact of which was immaterial at December&#160;31, 2024 and 2023.  The Company believes it uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market-based inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.</font></div><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">23</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:63pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:3pt"><font style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline"><a href="#i8a0b26734b31463a9236bbd121b9a4d9_4" style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Table of Contents</a></font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">DTE Gas Company</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements &#8212; (Continued)</font></div></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level&#160;1)&#160;and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level&#160;3).  In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  All assets and liabilities are required to be classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and its placement within the fair value hierarchy.  The Company classifies fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined as follows&#58;</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:45pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Level&#160;1</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> &#8212;&#160;Consists of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:45pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Level&#160;2</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> &#8212;&#160;Consists of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level&#160;1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:45pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Level&#160;3</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> &#8212;&#160;Consists of unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date.

pipelines, gas for heating and other uses was manufactured locally from processes involving coal, coke, or oil.  The facilities, which produced gas, have been designated as MGP sites.  The Company owns or previously owned 14 former MGP sites.  Investigations have revealed contamination related to the by-products of gas manufacturing at each site.  Cleanup of eight MGP sites is complete, and those sites are closed.  The Company has also completed partial closure of four additional sites.  Cleanup activities associated with the remaining sites will continue over the next several years.  The MPSC has established a cost deferral and rate recovery mechanism for investigation and remediation costs incurred at former MGP sites.  In addition to the MGP sites, the Company is also in the process of cleaning up other contaminated sites, including gate stations, gas pipeline releases, and underground storage tank locations.  As of December&#160;31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $26 million accrued for remediation.  These costs are not discounted to their present value.  Any change in assumptions, such as remediation techniques, nature and extent of contamination, and regulatory requirements, could impact the estimate of remedial action costs for the sites and affect the Company's financial position and cash flows.  The Company anticipates the cost amortization methodology approved by the MPSC, which allows for amortization of the MGP costs over a ten-year period beginning with the year subsequent to the year the MGP costs were incurred, will prevent the associated investigation and remediation costs from having a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Air</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> &#8212; In March 2023, the EPA published Good Neighbor Rule, which includes provisions for compressor engines operated for the transportation of natural gas.

The status of the rule remains uncertain as litigation is ongoing.

qualified pension plan by applying single-employer accounting.  Non-represented participation in qualified pension plans, and non-represented and represented participation in non-qualified pension plans are accounted for by applying multiemployer accounting.  Participation in other postretirement benefit plans is accounted for by applying multiple-employer accounting.  Within multiemployer and multiple-employer plans, participants pool plan assets for investment purposes and to reduce the cost of plan administration.  The primary difference between plan types is that assets contributed in multiemployer plans can be used to provide benefits for all participating employers, while assets contributed within a multiple-employer plan are restricted for use by the contributing employer.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:13.5pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Pension Plan Benefits</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">DTE Energy has qualified defined benefit retirement plans for eligible represented and non-represented employees.  The plans are noncontributory and provide traditional retirement benefits based on the employee's years of benefit service, average final compensation, and age at retirement.  In addition, certain represented and non-represented employees are covered under cash balance provisions that determine benefits on annual employer contributions and interest credits.  DTE Energy also maintains supplemental non-qualified, noncontributory, retirement benefit plans for selected management employees.

Management reviews historic financial market risks and returns and long-term historic relationships between the asset classes of equities, fixed income, and other assets, consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that asset classes with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long-term.  Current market factors such as inflation, interest rates, asset class risks, and asset class returns are evaluated and considered before long-term capital market assumptions are determined.  The long-term portfolio return is also established employing a consistent formal process, with due consideration of diversification, active investment management, and rebalancing.  Peer data is reviewed to check for reasonableness.  As a result of this process, the Company has a long-term rate of return assumption for its represented pension plan of 7.80% for 2025.  The Company believes this rate is a reasonable assumption for the long-term rate of return on plan assets given the current investment strategy.</font></div><div style="height:45pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">30</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:63pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:3pt"><font style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline"><a href="#i8a0b26734b31463a9236bbd121b9a4d9_4" style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Table of Contents</a></font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">DTE Gas Company</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements &#8212; (Continued)</font></div></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The DTE Energy Company Affiliates Employee Benefit Plans Master Trust employs a liability driven investment program whereby the characteristics of plan liabilities are considered when determining investment policy.  Risk tolerance is established through consideration of future plan cash flows, plan funded status, and corporate financial considerations.  The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity, fixed income, and other investments.  Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, and large and small market capitalization.  Fixed income investments generally include U.S. Treasuries, diversified corporate bonds, bank loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other governmental debt.  Other investments are used to enhance long-term returns while improving portfolio diversification.  Derivatives may be utilized in a risk-controlled manner, to potentially increase the portfolio beyond the market value of invested assets and&#47;or reduce portfolio investment risk.  Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements, periodic asset&#47;liability studies, and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.</font></div><div

Exchange-traded debt and equity securities held directly, as well as publicly traded commingled funds, are valued using quoted market prices in actively traded markets.  Non-publicly traded commingled funds hold exchange-traded equity or debt securities and are valued based on stated NAVs.  Non-exchange traded fixed income securities are valued by the trustee based upon quotations available from brokers or pricing services.  A primary price source is identified by asset type, class, or issue for each security.  The trustee monitors prices supplied by pricing services and may use a supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the trustee challenges an assigned price and determines that another price source is considered to be preferable.

previously described for the pension plans.  As a result of this process, the Company has a long-term rate of return assumption for its other postretirement benefit plans of 7.50% for 2025.  The Company believes this rate is a reasonable assumption for the long-term rate of return on plan assets given the current investment strategy.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The DTE Energy Company Master VEBA Trust employs a liability driven investment program whereby the characteristics of plan liabilities are considered when determining investment policy. Risk tolerance is established through consideration of future plan cash flows, plan funded status, and corporate financial considerations. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity, fixed income, and other investments.  Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks and large and small market capitalizations.  Fixed income investments generally include U.S. Treasuries, diversified corporate bonds, bank loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other governmental debt.  Other investments are used to enhance long-term returns while improving portfolio diversification.  Derivatives may be utilized in a risk-controlled manner to potentially increase the portfolio beyond the market value of invested assets and&#47;or reduce portfolio investment risk.  Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements, periodic asset&#47;liability studies, and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.</font></div><div

Exchange-traded debt and equity securities held directly, as well as publicly traded commingled funds, are valued using quoted market prices in actively traded markets.  Non-publicly traded commingled funds hold exchange-traded equity or debt securities and are valued based on NAVs.  Non-exchange traded fixed income securities are valued by the trustee based upon quotations available from brokers or pricing services.  A primary price source is identified by asset type, class, or issue for each security.  The trustee monitors prices supplied by pricing services and may use a supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the trustee challenges an assigned price and determines that another price source is considered preferable.  The Company has obtained an understanding of how these prices are derived, including the nature and observability of the inputs used in deriving such prices.</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:13.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Defined Contribution Plans</font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt;text-indent:22.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company also sponsors defined contribution retirement savings plans.
