Amazon is constructing a colossal data center in Indiana, spanning 1,200 acres and designed to support AI operations in collaboration with Anthropic. This facility will consume 2.2 gigawatts of electricity, marking a significant leap in the scale of data centers as the tech industry races to accommodate the growing demands of artificial intelligence.

Elementl Power has signed an agreement with Google to fund the development of three advanced nuclear sites, each expected to generate at least 600 megawatts of power. Google is investing in early-stage development to strengthen energy supply for its data centers, underscoring the rising collaboration between tech companies and the nuclear industry to meet growing energy demands.

As demand for electricity surges due to the AI boom, tech companies are constructing their own power plants to bypass the slow U.S. power grid. Projects like OpenAI's Stargate in Texas and Elon Musk's data centers in Memphis highlight this trend, as firms seek quick fixes amid supply chain and permitting challenges.
