AG Nessel Challenges Data Center Power Deal | Detroit News
Description
Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel is suing the Public Service Commission over fast-tracked contracts allowing a massive new data center—powered by tech giants like OpenAI and Oracle—to draw electricity from DTE Energy, arguing the commission ignored its own rules and failed to ensure fair public review. The facility, set to consume as much power as a million homes, has drawn criticism from environmental groups worried about hidden costs passed to ratepayers. While the commission defends its decision as legally sound and consumer-protective, Nessel seeks to invalidate the deals and establish stricter oversight for future mega-energy projects—a battle now headed to the Michigan Court of Appeals with potential statewide implications.
