Nvidia eyes old German nuclear sites for AI data centers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nvidia is exploring a partnership with German energy firm PreussenElektra to convert decommissioned nuclear power plant sites into AI data centers. This initiative aims to leverage existing infrastructure, such as power, water, and grid connections, at these former nuclear facilities to reduce the cost and time required for building new AI data centers from scratch. The collaboration is currently in a feasibility study phase, focusing on assessing the suitability of these sites for 'AI factories' without utilizing nuclear power. AI

IMPACT Repurposing existing infrastructure could accelerate AI data center buildout and potentially lower costs.
