Microsoft costruir� in Texas un datacenter AI da 2 gigawatt alimentato da una centrale a gas firmata con Chevron, promettendo un consumo d'acqua inferiore a quello di un fast food ma senza chiarire l'impatto della centrale stessa

The Chevron Microsoft gas deal puts a 20-year, 2.67GW natural-gas plant behind a giant West Texas data centre, off the grid and online by 2028.

Microsoft's embrace of natural gas shows it is willing to invest in a fossil fuel to meet the power demand from its data centers.

Once operational, Project Kilby will be among the largest co-located natural gas power and data center developments in the U.S.
