Google has revealed that it is the company behind a planned 1-gigawatt data center in Wayne County's Van Buren Township, ending months of speculation as to who the project belongs to. The data center will be built on about 130 acres of a 282-acre site and will be operated by Google. It will be powered by new resources, including solar power, under an agreement with DTE Energy. The project still requires final site plan and development agreement approvals from the township. Google also announced it is creating a $10 million Energy Impact Fund for local organizations to help lower monthly utility bills.
