xAI Plans Solar Farm for Massive Memphis Data Center

Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI plans to build an 88-acre solar farm next to its Colossus data center in Memphis, one of the world’s largest AI training facilities. The project is expected to generate about 30 MW, covering only 10% of the center’s power needs. The move follows criticism over xAI’s reliance on unpermitted natural gas turbines.
