Data Center

Attorney General Dana Nessel is asking the Michigan Public Service Commission to reconsider a set of rules for large-scale Consumers Energy electricity customers, including data centers.

Residents attended a protest in Detroit and a virtual public hearing to demand more scrutiny towards DTE's proposal to power a 1.4 gigawatt data center coming to Saline Township.

"We heard you," said a statement from the company's Matt Rine, who faced stiff opposition at tense public forums to consider the idea this week.
