Your Next AI Query May Travel Where the Power Is

# AI Companies Are Building Tiny Data Centers Next to Power Stations to Solve an Energy Crisis Nvidia and partners are building about 25 small data centers scattered across the country, each positioned next to electrical substations where power is readily available. When one location gets too much demand, the AI computations automatically shift to whichever data center has spare power capacity nearby, kind of like rerouting traffic to less congested roads. This approach lets companies tap into small pockets of unused electricity that traditional massive data centers couldn't justify using, while also solving the growing problem of finding enough power to run increasingly energy-hungry AI systems.
