If the Power Won’t Come to the Data Center, Then the Data Center Must Go to the Power

As AI workloads grow more energy-hungry, data centers are relocating to where power is abundant. This shift is giving rise to “AI factories”—high-density compute hubs built near low-cost or stranded energy sources. No longer tied to cities, these next-gen facilities are optimized for energy, not connectivity. With cutting-edge GPUs like NVIDIA’s Blackwell and trillion-parameter models redefining scale, power access is becoming the new priority.
