The book’s note
The announcement dated the start of construction (early 2026), not first power or operations; the August 2026 compilation’s table of promised dates (row 36) assigns no clock. 988 MW is Epoch’s estimate against OpenAI’s 1 GW. The August 2026 compilation records 0 publicly verified and names no source for the zero. The Michigan Public Service Commission’s order of 18 December 2025 (Case U-21990) records DTE’s filed schedule for the customer’s load, from January 2027 to full load by December 2027 with a twelve-month delay allowed; a utility’s filed load schedule is the customer’s contract and not the builder’s promise, so the row stays never dated (25 October 2026).
