Google and DTE Energy are planning a 1-gigawatt data center in Van Buren Township, Michigan, requiring significant new energy resources. DTE has filed for regulatory approval with the Michigan Public Service Commission, opting for a contested case following backlash from a previous project. Opposition is growing, with over 1,500 signatures on a petition against the Van Buren Township development.
