## Key facts

- **MPSC approval of Google Project Cannoli special contracts (regulator, Oct 2026):** Regulator-stated ([regulator](https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/commission/news-releases/2026/10/01/mpsc-approves-dte-electric-google-data-center-and-contracts-protects-customers-from-project-cost); also [MLive](https://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/2026/10/dte-gets-green-light-to-power-massive-google-data-center.html)): Oct 1 2026 MPSC conditionally approved DTE Electric PSA + CCAA with [Google](/companies/google.md) for the ~1 GW Van Buren Township data center. CCAA: Google pays for up to 1,600 MW renewables and 480 MW storage developed/owned/operated by DTE Electric. PSA protections include ~80% minimum billing demand and early-termination recovery of at least 15 years of minimum charges (MLive: exit fee up to $2.5B). Cap: conditional; DTE must accept MPSC conditions in writing
- **CCAA renewables and storage paid by Google:** The Michigan Public Service Commission said the clean capacity accelerator agreement requires [Google](/companies/google.md) to pay for DTE Electric to develop up to 1,600 MW of renewable energy and 480 MW of battery energy storage to serve the Van Buren Township data center ([MPSC](https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/commission/news-releases/2026/10/01/mpsc-approves-dte-electric-google-data-center-and-contracts-protects-customers-from-project-cost)).
- **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](/companies/google.md) pays fixed costs that benefit the grid ([MPSC](https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/commission/news-releases/2026/10/01/mpsc-approves-dte-electric-google-data-center-and-contracts-protects-customers-from-project-cost)).
