DTE Energy signs power supply contract with Google for 1 GW data center
Type: Ppa · Technology: Data Center · Country: United States · Capacity: 1 GW · Announced: 2026-07-28
DTE Energy agreed to supply electricity to Google's planned 1 GW data center in Michigan, submitting the power contract to state regulators on July 28 2026. The contract covers up to 1 GW of renewable‑focused generation that DTE will deliver through its grid modernization plan. The data center is slated to begin operations by the end of 2027, aligning with DTE’s rate‑freeze pledge contingent on the project’s completion. The agreement supports DTE’s broader 8.4 GW data‑center pipeline, which includes a 1.4 GW Oracle facility and additional opportunities. By securing the Google offtake, DTE expects to offset fixed system costs and maintain stable rates for its residential customers, while the utility’s $30 billion capital plan funds the necessary infrastructure.
