Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
Investing.com - OpenAI has agreed to rent approximately 4.5 gigawatts of data center power from Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL). in the United States as part of its Stargate initiative, according to Bloomberg.
The unprecedented energy requirement, equivalent to the output of multiple nuclear reactors, could power millions of American homes, with each gigawatt capable of providing electricity to roughly 750,000 houses.
The Stargate project, first announced in January at the White House, has already established a massive data center in Abilene, Texas, developed by Oracle alongside partner Crusoe for OpenAI’s artificial intelligence products.
Oracle plans to develop multiple additional data centers across the United States to meet OpenAI’s growing demand, with potential sites under consideration in Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, according to people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity.
The companies are also considering expanding the existing Abilene site from its current 1.2 gigawatt capacity to approximately 2 gigawatts, while OpenAI is evaluating potential locations in New Mexico, Georgia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
