Summary
On 27 March 2026 the Michigan Public Service Commission denied petitions for rehearing, a motion to reopen and a motion for a contested proceeding in Case No. U-21990, leaving in place its 18 December 2025 conditional approval of DTE Electric's special contracts to serve a 1.383-gigawatt data center facility in Saline Township. The order found that concerns raised about DTE Electric's 15 January 2026 acceptance letter did not require reopening.
What this does not establish
- This is a decision on rehearing, reopening and a contested proceeding; the contract approval and its conditions are in the 18 December 2025 order, which is a separate record.
- The effective date of the order is not stated in its text; the adoption date is the Commission meeting date.
Unresolved questions
- Whether an appeal of the Case No. U-21990 orders to the Michigan Court of Appeals, reported in April 2026, is pending; the court docket was not opened because courts.michigan.gov disallows automated access in its robots.txt.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
