(Detroit, MI) – Energy experts say Michigan’s grid can support current demand but may need major upgrades as new data center proposals move forward. Projects in Saline Township and Livingston County have raised concerns about heavy power use, water demands, and strain on local wells. A national report shows regions with large clusters of data centers face higher outage risks during extreme weather.
Analysts say Michigan isn’t in that category yet but will need stronger transmission and distribution systems to keep pace.
