Giganții tech vor să dezvolte centre de date în Patagonia

Tech companies are increasingly looking to Argentina's Patagonia for data center development due to its low temperatures and renewable energy availability. This shift comes as opposition grows in the U.S. over energy and water consumption concerns. Patagonia's vast land and cooler climate are seen as advantageous for data center operations, reducing cooling energy needs. Neuquén province is pursuing a data center project near a thermal power plant, potentially consuming 500 megawatts. OpenAI plans to collaborate on a renewable energy-powered data center in Argentina, with a projected value of up to $25 billion, highlighting the rising demand for AI infrastructure.
