DTE is simultaneously raising its long-term growth target, expanding capital investment nearly 30%, and divesting Vantage to fund a data-center-driven regulated utility strategy.
The pivot to a pure-play regulated utility with data-center-driven load growth mirrors peers monetizing non-core assets to fund grid investment and rate-base expansion.
The Vantage sale is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, and 2027 earnings may be impacted by discontinued operations, actual closing timing, and timing of sale-proceeds deployment.
