My office has statutory authority to intervene on behalf of ratepayers and I’m sounding the alarm about DTE’s questionable proposal for a 1.4 gigawatt data center.

Michiganders shouldn’t be left wondering if our energy bills will go up to pay for this. We deserve transparency.

DTE claims it is being transparent about its contract for the proposed data center in Saline, but anyone who has seen their extensive redactions would likely disagree.

I believe the people deserve answers, not secrecy.
