US EditionAI Data Centers: Energy Markets in the Sixth Industrial Revolution
- Rappahannock Electric Cooperative proposed a special rate for big users like data centers to protect current ratepayers.
- Legislators are concerned that data centers' high power needs could raise costs for other consumers.
- The cooperative would charge data centers a monthly fee based on capacity, plus an upfront payment for equipment.
- Jennifer Sebastian calculated a $666,573 monthly bill for a 268-megawatt facility under the proposed rate.
- These measures aim to prevent data center costs from burdening other customers if a facility shuts down.

Neuromorphic Computing May Make AI Data Centers Less Wasteful
With AI driving up data center costs and energy usage, tech firms are increasingly interested in alternatives, including one that mimics the human brain: Neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing processes data in the same location in which it’s stored, allowing for real-time decision making and vastly reducing energy consumption in operations. The tech has the potential to help solve the power problem that continues to threaten the rapid …
