Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

The Michigan Data Center Tracker (baldorilaw.com, retrieved 2026-09-09) lists 'The Barn' campus in Saline Township as 'Under construction · 2026-04'. No site-specific incentive award has been found: Michigan's 2024 data-center sales and use tax exemptions may apply, but no source ties an award to this site, and the MPSC conditions are ratepayer protections, not subsidies.

DTE Energy supplies 100% of power using existing resources augmented by a new battery-storage investment financed entirely by the project, so as not to affect other DTE customers' supply or rates (per Related Digital and MPSC review).
