Pavilion Township
Real estate firm Franklin Partners looked at building a large data center on about 265 acres near South 26th Street and East N Avenue in Pavilion Township, southeast of Kalamazoo. CMS Energy, the parent of Consumers Energy, had announced plans to supply up to a gigawatt of power for a facility there, but after residents packed public meetings over water and electricity concerns, the company paused and then withdrew its plans in late October 2025. Local watchdogs say the same land could still attract a new developer.
Power bills in Kalamazoo County
Most of the county is served by Consumers Energy.
Consumers Energy is asking the commission for a 9.8% residential increase (2027-2028 electric rate case (docket U-22070)). On a $155 monthly bill that is about $13 to $17 a month. 2026 electric rate case (docket U-21870) raised residential rates 8.9% from May 2026: about $12 to $16 a month on a $155 bill. This does not change a typical home bill by itself, but it sets the rules meant to stop the cost of new data center power hookups from being spread across every Consumers Energy customer's rate.
Consumers Energy filed a new electric rate case on June 2, 2026, asking for a 456 million dollar revenue increase, about 9.8 percent more from residential customers, to cover a 12 month period ending April 2028. If approved as filed, a typical residential bill of about 155 dollars a month would rise by roughly 13 dollars. The case is still pending before the Michigan Public Service Commission with no decision date yet set.
