As noted below, certain regulatory assets for which costs have been incurred have been included (or are expected to be included, for costs incurred
subsequent to the most recently approved rate case) in DTE Electric's or DTE Gas’s rate base, thereby providing a return on invested costs (except as noted).
Certain other regulatory assets are not included in rate base but accrue recoverable carrying charges until surcharges to collect the assets are billed. Certain
regulatory assets do not result from cash expenditures and therefore do not represent investments included in rate base or have offsetting liabilities that
reduce rate base.
