The buildout in Michigan
We track 2 data center campuses of 100 MW or more in Michigan (1 under construction, 1 operating). Together they announce 1,740 MW at full buildout; weighted by build stage, we expect about 1,012 MW to be running by 2030. That load lands on the MISO, PJM grids. Named power suppliers: DTE. The largest expected load is Stargate Michigan 'The Barn' (672 MW by 2030, under construction). Added natural gas burn, from grid-supplied and on-site generation, comes to about 79.1 MMcf/d on an average day.
