Developer / end user
Google announced plans to develop a new data center in DTE Energy service territory in Michigan and said it is evaluating a site in Van Buren Township (Project Cannoli / Panattoni-developed) (Google blog, Mar 17 2026)
Facility max load (DTE testimony via township)
Van Buren Township FAQ cites DTE testimony that maximum customer load at the facility is 1,000 MW (1 GW), with load planned to begin materializing Dec 2027 and reach max load by Dec 2028 (Van Buren Township Data Center FAQ)
Clean capacity commitment (announced)
Google says the data center operations will be served by 2.7 GW of new resources for the grid (solar, advanced storage, demand flexibility) under a Clean Capacity Acceleration Agreement with DTE, framed as more than site capacity because intermittent resources are included (Google blog, Mar 17 2026; Van Buren Township FAQ)
Ratepayer / affordability claims (announced)
Google says it will fully cover its electricity costs and infrastructure needs and introduced a $10M Energy Impact Fund for Michigan energy affordability initiatives (Google blog, Mar 17 2026)
MPSC contested case (regulator)
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed testimony in the MPSC contested case on DTE/Google 20-year special contracts for the 1 GW Van Buren Township facility, arguing for stronger ratepayer protections (Case U-22058 referenced in AG materials) (Michigan AG, Jun 11 2026)
Site context (township)
Township materials place Project Cannoli near I-94 / Haggerty Road and publish planning, substation, and development-agreement documents for public review (Van Buren Township Data Center FAQ)
MPSC approval of DTE-Google special contracts (regulator, Oct 2026)
Regulator-stated (regulator; also MLive; MPSC X): on Oct 1 2026 the Michigan Public Service Commission conditionally approved DTE Electric special contracts with Google LLC for electric service to the ~1 GW Van Buren Township data center (Case U-22058): a Primary Supply Agreement (PSA) and Clean Capacity Accelerator Agreement (CCAA). Google pays for DTE to develop up to 1,600 MW of renewable energy and 480 MW of battery storage under the CCAA. PSA is a 20-year Rate Schedule D11 service term with enhanced protections including about 80% minimum billing demand. First service eyed Dec 2027; max load by Dec 2028 (DTE via MPSC/MLive). Cap: MPSC order is conditional (DTE must accept written conditions within 30 days per MLive); Commission has no authority over whether/where the data center locates
Early termination payment up to $2.5B (reported, Oct 2026)
Reported (reported; MPSC release frames 15-year minimum-charge recovery at 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): MLive says Google would be on the hook for a termination payment of up to $2.5 billion if it exits the deal, in addition to other collateral. MPSC news release states an early termination payment requiring Google to ultimately pay for at least 15 years of minimum monthly charges. Cap: $2.5B figure is MLive reporting of the contested-case terms; prefer MPSC order text for exact formula
