According to Odaily Planet Daily, Houston technology company Lancium and Denver Crusoe Energy Systems announced a multi-billion dollar agreement to build a 200-megawatt data center outside Abilene, Texas, designed to meet the unique needs of artificial intelligence companies. This is the first phase of a 1.2-gigawatt construction plan. Ali Fenn, president of Lancium, said this will be one of the largest artificial intelligence data center parks in the world, showing the accelerated competitive trend of such companies shifting from Bitcoin mining to artificial intelligence business. Needham analysts estimate that in the next one to two years, including mining and high-performance computing business expansion plans, the power capacity of large listed Bitcoin mining companies is expected to more than double. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that by 2030, data center electricity consumption will account for 9% of total U.S. electricity consumption, up from about 4% in 2023. Some industry insiders believe that the use of nuclear energy may meet this demand. TeraWulf uses nuclear energy to power its mines and is seeking to enter the field of machine learning. So far, the company has 2 megawatts of high-performance computing capacity and plans to shift its energy infrastructure to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
