Great to see another successful call for power by BC Hydro. More grid scale (up to 496 MW) wind and perhaps some solar proposals have been received. With 14 proposals totaling more than 9,100 gigawatt hours per year, this is nearly double the targeted amount.

Not enough cooling, apparently.

"Laramie County commissioners earlier this month unanimously voted to move forward with the construction of a 1.8 gigawatt data center designed to eventually scale up to 10 gigawatts, which would be the largest single AI campus in the U.S."

Would take 10 full-size nuclear plants to run it.

OpenAI garantiert stabile Strompreise für Anwohner. Beim Stargate-Projekt zahlt der Konzern den Netzausbau selbst und kühlt Server nur mit Abwasser. Keine Belastung für Haushalte trotz 5 Gigawatt Bedarf. Ist das die neue Pflicht für alle Hyperscaler? #OpenAI

Die Fakten:
- #China will zw. 2026 und 2030 jährlich (!) 120 Gigawatt neue Windkraft zubauen
- zwischen 2020 und 2024 hat das Land jährlich (!) im Durchschnitt 60 Gigawatt an neuer Windkraft installiert.

Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

Read the full story at ProPublica. Operation Gigawatt: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared last year that the state would double energy production in the next decade using an “any of the above” approach to power sources. Growing Energy Source: Solar projects have been coming online faster than any other source in Utah and account for two-thirds of the new projects waiting to connect to the state’s power grid.

It's funny reading all the breathless testimonials about Claude from dudes who absolutely do not need to rely on this code that they're generating, let alone maintain it over time

And they sure as hell ain't paying for the gigawatt datacenters

#Trump ist echt mies informiert! China macht 570 bis 600 Gigawatt (GW) mit Wind. 15% des Gesamtbedarfs. Das ist mehr als das Achtfache der Kapazität von Deutschland.

Erträge mit Wind:
China ~570 - 600 GW
USA ~150 - 155 GW
Deutschland ~73 - 75 GW

TEPCO - the Japanese utility responsible for the #Fukushima meltdowns - put online the 1.36 gigawatt reactor No. 6, one of seven at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, the world's biggest nuclear station capable of producing 8.2 GW of electricity when at full capacity. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

“Het geld dat nu in lng‑contracten met de VS zit, is goed voor de installatie van meer dan 500 gigawatt aan wind- en zonne-energie.”

Eens (uit)gegeven, blijft (uit)gegeven. We moeten dit geld juist gebruiken om te investeren in groene energie in de #EU.

“The AI campus is expected to open with a capacity of 1.8 gigawatts of electricity, over five times more than the roughly 238,000 homes in Wyoming currently use, with the potential to scale up to 10 gigawatts…One gigawatt can power approximately 750,000 to one million average U.S. homes”
Project Jade could eventually use the same amount of electricity as produced by 10 nuclear power plants, boosting Wyoming's energy industry while challenging efforts to limit emissions and stressing water supplies.

Hyderabad-based AM group commits $25bn for AI infra hub in Noida | India News – The Times of India
HYDERABAD: Energy transition player AM Group (AMG), which is backed by the founders of Greenko Group, plans to set up a 1GW (gigawatt) high-performance AI infrastructure hub in Greater Noida region, with an investment of $25 billion.The high-performance compute hub to cater to global AI workloads will be developed in a phased manner, with the first capacity set to come up in 2028 and the full 1GW capacity expected to come up by 2030. The Hyderabad-based AM Group signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Invest UP of the UP govt at the WEF in Davos for the proposed project.AMG said the project is expected to attract significant foreign direct investment and generate thousands of high-skilled jobs in the region, fostering an ecosystem for hardware manufacturing, software development, and specialised cooling tech.
