Summary
The project, called GW Ranch, is intended to supply electricity to huge data centres and will not be connected to the electricity grid, a solution increasingly used by tech giants to satisfy the haste required by the AI boom. PHOTO ARCHIVES REUTERS The thirst for electricity in data centres is such that more and more infrastructures are being fed by dedicated and off-grid power plants. (Washington) Amazon is building a huge gas plant in Texas that could become the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, confirmed on Friday the US technology giant. The US giant also claims to maintain its carbon neutral target by 2040.
Furthermore, The plant has the authority to emit more than 30 million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year, more than any other infrastructure in the country. The project involves 35 turbines for a total capacity of 7.65 gigawatts, according to permits, more than four times the power of the EPR nuclear reactor in Flamanville, France, and more than any gas plant currently operating in the United States. Using satellite images, the Cleanview specialist firm linked this plant project to three data centre permits deposited this week by Amazon in this arid area of Texas, near the Mexican border.
In addition, " That's exactly what our new data centre project in Pecos County is doing: it will be powered by a dedicated power plant that will not raise electricity prices for Texas households," he added, in a context of political concern about an increase in bills. Adding solar energy A spokesman for the US giant confirmed the information, insisting: "Amazon wants to pay the full cost of feeding our operations.".
