Public utilities: public service commission; moratorium on approvals by the Michigan public service commission of any new enterprise data centers; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.1 - 460.11) by adding sec. 10ii.
HB 5595 imposes a moratorium on Michigan's Public Service Commission approving new energy contracts for data centers. It prohibits the commission from approving any contract, tariff, discount, or rate between electric utilities and "qualified data centers" (defined as facilities housing equipment for centralized data storage and processing) from its effective date until April 1, 2027. This directly affects electric utilities and developers planning new large-scale data center projects in Michigan. The bill adds Section 10ii to the state's utility law, halting regulatory approvals for these energy agreements during the specified moratorium period.
