Google secures renewable energy deal for new data center near Detroit Metro Airport
Google has signed a deal with DTE to obtain 1,600 MW of renewable energy for a data center that will be built near Detroit Metro Airport, and the agreement includes nearly 480 MW of batteries that Google will fund.1
The contracts ensure Google will cover its own electricity costs, and the proximity of the data center to the airport places a large, capital‑intensive facility close to a major aviation hub, potentially influencing local power demand and infrastructure planning.1
