‘No secret deals’: Protest targets DTE’s fast-moving Saline Township data center request

Over 100 protesters gathered in downtown Saline, Michigan to oppose DTE Energy's efforts to advance a $7 billion data center project in Saline Township without official hearings. The protesters are concerned about potential cost impacts to residential ratepayers and the possibility of 'stranded assets' if tech companies leave before grid investments are paid off. The Michigan Attorney General previously called out significant redactions to the data center contracts submitted by DTE to the Michigan Public Service Commission, leading protesters to carry signs saying 'No Secret Deals'.
