Power giant proposes AI data centers at coal plant sites
A power company has proposed building artificial intelligence (AI) data centers at its existing coal-fired power plant locations, stating the sites are ready. This move comes amid an anticipated explosion in demand for data centers, which are projected to consume significant amounts of power. One proposal for a suburban data center alone is expected to use more electricity than a regional city. The company aims to leverage its current infrastructure for this new venture.
