Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) has become the latest governor to crack down on data centers, signing an executive order on Thursday to curb the impact artificial intelligence infrastructure giants have on local ratepayers.

Ohio power regulators are taking steps they say are designed to protect large electric customers from paying higher rates because of data centers. Under a new order by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio,

A science that only seemed experimental just a few years ago is now an increasingly commercialized must-have.

Hyperscalers are racing to secure electricity for AI data centers. Electric vehicles could be the fastest fix in the quest for speed to power.

"The futures of data centers and cities in the USA are closely interconnected," the authors of a recent study wrote.

AI data centers put particular strain on their power supply when they are training new models — a process that mobilizes all of the graphics processing units in unison. Like the digital equivalent of bees swarming or a school of fish changing direction, hundreds of thousands of GPUs can power up and down on a millisecond basis.

Uptime Institute says data center outages are declining, but 57% of major incidents now cost over $100,000 as infrastructure risks grow.

Wisconsin is in need of statewide legislation that ensures large-scale AI data centers in the state all have to follow the same rules and pay for their energy infrastructure, according to a new report.

The Dallas-based contractor said customers are accelerating data center and semiconductor work during its third quarter earnings call Tuesday.
