The Michigan Public Service Commission on 27 March approved six battery energy storage system (BESS) projects totalling 1,332MW to improve grid reliability.

Three projects will provide a combined 1,000MW to meet DTE Electric's integrated resource plan, which calls for adding 15,000MW of solar and wind generation in the state. The contracts include a 20-year tolling agreement.

The other three projects, with a combined capacity of 332MW, will serve a 1,383MW data center being developed by Oracle subsidiary Green Chile Ventures to improve reliability and reduce costs for customers.

The 332MW of data center BESS projects approved so far is the first phase of the 1,383MW of energy storage facilities that Green Chile Ventures must develop to match the data center's contracted demand.

Green Chile Ventures will bear the costs over 15 years, while DTE Electric will develop, own and operate the facilities.

BESS projects provide a faster power addition for data centers and help address consumer affordability.

Michigan hosts 74 of the 4,088 data centers in the US, with Detroit home to 32, according to Data Center Map.
