Overview

Detroit-based utility holding company. Subsidiary DTE Electric is the retail utility for Google's ~1 GW Project Cannoli data center in Van Buren Township, Michigan. On Oct 1 2026 the Michigan Public Service Commission conditionally approved DTE Electric special contracts (PSA + CCAA, Case U-22058) for that load.

Reality check

Service start and claimed ratepayer benefit

MPSC said DTE Electric expects the data center to begin taking service in December 2027 with maximum load by December 2028, and that DTE contends approval will yield a $1.7 billion benefit that reduces costs to other customers over the 20-year contract as Google pays fixed costs that benefit the grid (MPSC).
