DTE Energy’s Storm Technology Excellence Program: Advancing Storm Preparedness and Response

This session provides an in-depth look at DTE Energy's Storm Technology Excellence Program, a transformative initiative designed to enhance storm preparedness and response through cutting-edge technology. By integrating advanced solutions across multiple workstreams, DTE is optimizing efficiency and reliability in the face of severe weather events.

Key components of the program include:

• Storm Cloud Hyperscale Environment – A scalable Azure-based cloud infrastructure that allows DTE to rapidly expand operations in response to evolving storm conditions.
• Storm Data Lakehouse – A centralized repository for storing and analyzing vast amounts of storm-related data, improving data-driven decision-making.
• Storm Simulation Testing Lab – A dedicated facility where various storm scenarios are rigorously tested, refined, and optimized to enhance real-world response strategies.

Additionally, DTE is transitioning from a collection of disparate point solutions to a unified platform approach. By consolidating its technology stack into a cohesive ecosystem, the company is streamlining communication, improving collaboration, and maximizing the effectiveness of its storm response efforts.

The Storm Technology Excellence Program represents a multi-faceted, technology-driven approach to storm resilience. By leveraging these innovations, DTE Energy is enhancing reliability, optimizing response times, and reinforcing its commitment to achieving its 48-hour storm restoration goals.
