A small Danish city transformed itself by welcoming Google's data center through early community partnership, creating 1,200 construction jobs and over 100 permanent positions. Now other tech companies are flocking to Fredericia, and a century-old marine school is training the next generation of data center engineers.
SpaceX has filed plans with federal regulators to launch up to one million solar-powered satellites that would function as orbiting data centers for artificial intelligence. The ambitious proposal aims to harness near-constant solar power while eliminating the environmental impact of ground-based data centers.
Scientists created a platinum catalyst that lasts 25,000 hours and could help data centers generate their own clean power. The breakthrough tackles a growing problem: data centers may consume 9% of U.S. electricity by 2030.
A remote Alaskan fishing town just solved two problems at once: putting excess clean energy to work and bringing data processing closer to home. Cordova installed a data center inside its hydroelectric plant, cooled by mountain meltwater.
A new solar and battery project in central Washington is bringing clean energy to meet the massive power demands of data centers. The 300-megawatt Appledale Energy Center shows how renewable energy can keep pace with our digital future.
After a $1 billion mega-data center deal fell through, Kenya is leading Africa toward a smarter solution: small, locally-powered AI centers that won't drain the power grid. Experts say this distributed approach could give Africa real control over its AI future.
When a power line fell near DC, data centers accidentally caused lights to flicker across millions of homes. Now, a simple fix could make the grid safer for everyone.
Maine just became the first state to hit pause on massive data centers, giving communities time to study their impact on electricity costs and the environment. Ten other states are watching closely and considering similar moves.
Australia's NEXTDC just opened Southeast Asia's largest AI-ready data center in Malaysia, creating a tech hub that will power the next generation of artificial intelligence across the region. The facility marks Malaysia's arrival as a major player in the global digital economy.
Most Australian states just agreed to make data centers pay for renewable energy to keep electricity bills from rising. The move tackles AI's growing power hunger while boosting clean energy infrastructure.
Texas just became the second state to hit pause on rushing data centers onto its energy grid. The new audit requirement shows leaders are listening to communities worried about power stability.
Tennessee just passed a law protecting residents from paying for AI data centers' massive electricity costs. At least five other states are following suit with similar protections.
