A Reuters survey of 13 major US #electric utility earnings transcripts found nearly ½ have received inquiries from #DataCenter companies for volumes of #power that would exceed their peak demand or existing generation capacity - that's everything they supply to homes & businesses - a metric that reflects the sheer size of oncoming data center needs.

The overall scenario in China may not be that bad. The article that you shared says that:
The top end of tech in China is still investing — in 2025, phone operators plan to spend $12 billion on AI. ByteDance are spending $20 billion. Alibaba is spending $53 billion. [Light Reading; Reuters]
Chinese companies still want data centres — even buying capacity in Malaysia to serve the broader Asian market. They’re just not so interested in the cheap local ones.#DataCenter #AI #Cloud
This is the old ex E-Shelter dacatenter behind the Spandau tax office in Berlin. I complained about the waste of energy in my very first talk about energy consumption of #datacenter
Finally they made it real. The problem was the heat network to the buildings. Normally they require 85-125 C and they obviously designed a new system working with 65 C
Good work

China built hundreds of #AI #datacenter s to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.
The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends.

[same in en]. I'm going to buy new data center switches. Until now, I used refurbished Arista switches (which work perfectly), but this is to distribute the network to about twenty higher education institutions; I can't afford the worn-out stuff. What brand would you use? Are there any European manufacturers?
We'll need 100 Gb and plenty of 10/25 Gb ports. I plan on using generic optical transceivers, though. #networking #switch #datacenter
In #Brandenburg bei #Nauen wird ein 200 MW #datacenter gebaut. Die Integration klingt erstmal gut. Erneuerbare, Energiespeicher Anschluss an Fernwärme.
Ich hoffe, sie haben auch den Wasserverbrauch im Griff. Eigentlich gibt es da genug.
Is this the future of Data Centers?

How do power-guzzling data centers affect me? Your electricity bill, for one. If you've watched a TikTok video, shopped on Amazon or used online banking, you've indirectly used a data center. @themarkup explains how U.S. lawmakers are attempting to ensure electricity customers aren't footing the bill.
