US regulators raise questions about siting data centers at power plants

Quick Summary:

NEW YORK :Costs and reliability concerns related to the burgeoning trend of building energy-intensive data centers next to U.S.power plants were the focus of a technical conference held on Friday by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

As the technology industry races to deploy data centers for technologies like generative artificial intelligence, quickly accessing the massive amounts of electricity for the centers has become a critical problem.

Talen's interconnection agreement for the center is being opposed by utilities Exelon and American Electric Power, and FERC's decision on the case could set a precedent for similar deals.
