PART II — RULE 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

þ		(a)		The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
þ		(b)		The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
		(c)		The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

Under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, our interim financial statements must be reviewed by an independent public accountant in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information. Due to the finalization of the accounting analysis, documentation and disclosures associated with various asset impairments identified by DTE Energy within its Power and Industrial Projects business segment, we are not able to complete the financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 on or before the filing deadline with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The additional work also created a delay in Deloitte & Touche LLP’s, our independent registered public accounting firm, review of our financial statements. Therefore, we are unable to file the Form 10-Q by November 9, 2006 as planned without unreasonable effort or expense. We intend to file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as soon as Deloitte & Touche LLP completes its review, and not later than November 14, 2006.
