Off-grid data centers are not the panacea some AI firms hoped for.
Axios reports 59 off-grid data centers seek 90 gigawatts, while 12 tracked projects total about 10.6 gigawatts in use.
Why it matters. Critics say pipeline blocks and turbine outages show off-grid power may be slower, costlier, and less reliable.
What to watch. Watch the blocked New Mexico pipeline for Oracle's Stargate Project Jupiter and potential delays.
