08:02 AM EDT, 10/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft ( MSFT )-backed (MSFT) OpenAI are planning to develop a data center campus with over 1 gigawatt of capacity in Saline Township, Michigan, in partnership with Related Digital, the developer said Thursday.

The multi-billion dollar project, which is expected to start construction on a 250-acre area in early 2026, is part of Oracle and OpenAI's partnership to deliver 4.5 gigawatts of additional capacity for the Stargate initiative, Related said.

DTE Energy ( DTE ) has been selected to provide 100% of the project's power using existing power, augmented by a new battery storage investment that is financed entirely by the project, Related said.
