Michigan data center projects in government records, 2026

3 data center projects found in Michigan Public Service Commission and township records (Van Buren, Lowell and Saline townships) dated April 26 to October 26, 2026. None of the records we opened gives a backup generator count; 2 name substations and 1 states battery storage megawatts. Every project links to its government record.

EGLE's MiEnviro permit portal, where Michigan air and water permit notices are posted, blocks automated reading, and several township sites (Lyon, Frenchtown, Lowell's meeting portal) also refused access, so permit notices and other proposals are missing; this is a sample, not a complete list.
