DTE-Google Deal Gets Green Light for Michigan Data Center Power

The Michigan Public Service Commission has approved special contracts between DTE Electric Co. and Google LLC for the utility to provide electricity for a data center in Wayne County's Van Buren Township.

The approval allows DTE to charge Google a fixed rate of $34.90 per megawatt hour, which is lower than the standard rate.

This deal will provide power to Google's data center, which is expected to be built on a 70-acre site in Van Buren Township.
