Amazon is constructing a massive data center complex spanning 1,200 acres in Indiana to support artificial intelligence development in collaboration with AI startup Anthropic. This facility represents the first in a new generation of Amazon data centers designed to handle large-scale computing needs, consuming approximately 2.2 gigawatts of power and millions of gallons of water annually. The project reflects the growing importance of expansive computing infrastructure in the global AI ecosystem. Meanwhile, China is advancing its renewable energy capacity, notably achieving a milestone of 1 terawatt of solar power and launching its first commercial floating photovoltaic project in Qingdao, expected to generate 16.7 million kWh of green electricity annually. This development is part of China's broader green energy transition and leadership within BRICS nations toward solar energy. Additionally, South Australia has announced a $28 million investment to develop clean-powered AI data centers using wind and solar energy to support public services, highlighting a global trend toward sustainable AI infrastructure amid concerns about the environmental impact of power-hungry data centers.
