(WXYZ) — Some DTE Energy customers are now eligible for a $35 credit if they've been without power for more than 96 hours after Wednesday's ice storm.

According to DTE, customers without power for four days can receive the $35 credit. As of 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, 59,939 DTE customers remained without power.
Last Wednesday's storm left more than 500,000 DTE customers in the dark. Over 4,000 crews are currently out working to restore power but another winter weather advisory is in effect for Monday.

Normally, customers need to apply to receive a credit, but DTE said the $35 would be given automatically through its system.
Earlier Monday, DTE said it would give a $25 credit for those without power for more than 120 hours. Due to a change in policy starting March 1, $35 will be applied instead of the previous $25 stated. DTE officials said they are starting the new policy sooner to help its customers.
