Trinidad and Tobago signs U.S. data center deals amid water shortage concerns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Trinidad and Tobago has signed initial agreements with two U.S. companies, Hummingbird AI Holdings and Ernst and Young LLP, to develop large-scale data centers. These deals, facilitated in part by the U.S. government, aim to establish facilities with capacities of 150 MW and 300 MW, respectively. The initiatives have raised environmental concerns regarding energy consumption and the strain on the nation's already limited water resources, despite the government's projection of over 5,000 jobs.
