Pennsylvania's Homer City Energy Campus: A Brownfield Transformed for Data Center Innovation

1 week ago | datacenterfrontier.com | David Chernicoff

The redevelopment of the Homer City Generating Station in Pennsylvania represents an important transformation from a decommissioned coal-fired power plant to a state-of-the-art natural gas-powered data center campus, showing the creative reuse of a large brownfield site and the creation of what can be a significant location in power generation and the digital future.
Google’s AI-Powered Grid Revolution: How Data Centers Are Reshaping the U.S. Power Landscape

1 week ago | datacenterfrontier.com | Matt Vincent

As the digital economy accelerates, the demand for reliable, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions has never been greater. Data centers, the backbone of our AI-driven world, are consuming unprecedented amounts of power—pressuring already strained grid systems to meet an insatiable appetite for electricity. In response, tech giants like Google are stepping beyond the walls of their own operations to tackle the root of the problem: the grid itself.
Podcast: Vaire Computing Bets on Reversible Logic for 'Near Zero Energy' AI Data Centers

1 week ago | datacenterfrontier.com | Matt Vincent

The AI revolution is charging ahead—but powering it shouldn't cost us the planet. That tension lies at the heart of Vaire Computing’s bold proposition: rethinking the very logic that underpins silicon to make chips radically more energy efficient. Speaking on the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, Vaire CEO Rodolfo Rossini laid out a compelling case for why the next era of compute won't just be about scaling transistors—but reinventing the way they work.
The Rise of AI Factories: Transforming Intelligence at Scale

1 week ago | datacenterfrontier.com | David Chernicoff |Matt Vincent

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a powerful tool, it is the engine driving the next industrial revolution. At the core of this seismic shift are AI factories, a concept NVIDIA has pioneered as a critical foundation for transforming how intelligence is created, scaled, and delivered. Unlike traditional data centers, AI factories are not designed for general-purpose computing.
CoolIT and Accelsius Push Data Center Liquid Cooling Limits Amid Soaring Rack Densities

1 week ago | datacenterfrontier.com | Matt Vincent

The data center industry’s thermal baseline is shifting—fast. With NVIDIA’s next-gen racks targeting 600kW and AI workloads straining traditional infrastructure, cooling innovation has become a front-line imperative. That urgency is now being met with record-setting performance from two select liquid cooling leaders: Accelsius and CoolIT Systems.
Generac Sharpens Focus on Data Center Power with Scalable Diesel and Natural Gas Generators
