Energy storage contracts approved to boost Michigan grid reliability

The Michigan Public Service Commission approved energy storage contracts totaling 1,332 megawatts to bolster grid reliability and support a 1,383-megawatt data center in Saline Township, Washtenaw County. The commission also denied petitions from environmental groups and the state's attorney general that challenged the data center's initial approval. DTE Electric Co. will develop and operate the storage facilities, with Green Chile Ventures LLC responsible for the data center's energy storage costs.
