"The total project now includes more than 8 gigawatts of planned capacity and $450 billion (€389 billion) in investments. This brings the $500 billion target within reach. The expansion is in line with the goal OpenAI announced in January. The company aims to reach $500 billion in revenue and 10 gigawatts of capacity. "The infrastructure and manufacturing needed to advance AI give us a real chance to reindustrialize the country, and it should happen in places like Michigan," OpenAI said."
"Related Digital is developing the campus. Construction is expected to begin in early 2026 and will create more than 2,500 construction jobs. The project uses a closed cooling system that significantly reduces water consumption. DTE Energy will provide energy to the campus using existing surplus transmission capacity. This will leave the local energy supply unaffected. Any upgrades needed for the operation will be funded by the project itself, not by local taxpayers."
OpenAI is expanding its Stargate program with a new Michigan campus exceeding 1 gigawatt of capacity in partnership with Oracle and Related Digital. The overall Stargate portfolio now exceeds 8 gigawatts planned capacity and $450 billion in investments, advancing toward a $500 billion revenue and 10 gigawatt capacity goal. Construction beginning in early 2026 will create over 2,500 construction jobs. The campus will use a closed cooling system to cut water use. DTE Energy will supply power from surplus transmission capacity, avoiding impacts to local supply and funding any required upgrades through the project.
