***For Michigan residents using DTE Energy only*** This app allows the 2.3 million Michigan residents getting electricity from DTE Energy to calculate which rate plan lowers their bill the most. When you paste your unique link (provided by DTE Energy) into the app, your usage data for the past year is downloaded and your hypothetical electric bill for DTE Energy's different rate plans is calculated. This predicts how much you would pay if you were to switch rates. Compare several plans to each other, see how much power you use at different times of the day, and choose a plan that saves you money! Note: This app is only for consumers with DTE Energy out of Detroit, Michigan. It will not work with other utility providers. Note: This app is not affiliated with DTE Energy, it was simply created by a Michigan resident who wanted to lower their electric bill. Enjoy! Privacy: Your electrical usage data is 100% private and never leaves your device. It is downloaded in order to show you a personalized report, then deleted when the app is closed.
