Where should tech companies put their new AI data centers?

  • Summary

  • Tech companies are increasingly considering putting their new data centers in “excess energy regions” – areas that are typically less populated and have more power supplies than demand – as a way to take pressure off the U.S. power grid. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down the pros and cons of this strategy and why it has big implications for America’s power system. Plus, one of Europe’s most powerful business lobby groups is worried a second Trump presidency will punish the EU’s businesses for being green. Catherine Morehouse is an energy reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer. Annie Rees is the managing producer for audio at POLITICO. Gloria Gonzalez is the deputy energy editor for POLITICO.
