马斯克xAI计划在Colossus数据中心旁建设小型太阳能发电场

Group 1 - xAI plans to build a solar power plant adjacent to its Colossus data center, occupying 88 acres and expected to generate approximately 30 megawatts of power, which is about 10% of the data center's estimated electricity consumption [2][3] - The company has received criticism for operating over 400 megawatts of gas turbines without permits, with at least 35 turbines emitting over 2,000 tons of nitrogen oxides annually, contributing to increased air pollution in the surrounding community [2][4] - A study found that nitrogen dioxide levels in the area increased by 79% since xAI began operations, leading to a rise in asthma attacks and respiratory issues among local residents [2][4] Group 2 - xAI intends to continue using the gas turbines until additional power supply is secured, and local officials have granted a permit for the operation of 15 turbines until January 2027 [3] - The solar power plant developer, Seven States Power Corporation, has received $439 million in federal funding from the USDA, including $414 million in interest-free loans, which is notable given the reduction of clean energy subsidies under the Trump administration [3][4] - In Mississippi, xAI has increased the number of gas turbines to power its Colossus 2 data center, currently operating 59 turbines, with 18 considered temporary and not subject to pollution tracking by regulators [3]
