CMS Energy reaffirms 2025 outlook as data-center load expands
The Q2 discussion adds support to a measured growth case for CMS Energy: management cited an additional data-center agreement of up to 1 GW, reaffirmed its 2025 EPS range and maintained a 6–8% long-term growth outlook. The case still depends on converting the broader load pipeline into realized demand and executing a rising investment program amid regulatory and financing uncertainties.
